Black Giant is listed as a buffalo currant in the University of Saskatchewan Fruit Program handout Recommended fruit Varieties [S1]. It appears in the “Currants & Gooseberry” recommendation section for northern gardens, alongside another buffalo currant, Black Albol [S1].
The handout gives only brief list evidence for Black Giant. It does not describe fruit size, color, flavor, plant habit, breeder, parentage, release history, or disease behavior [S1]. The section is marked for August harvest. The best supported season statement is that Black Giant appears in an August currant and gooseberry recommendation section, not that the source gives a cultivar-specific ripening note [S1].
No hardiness zone is stated for Black Giant. Its cold-climate relevance comes from its inclusion in a University of Saskatchewan list of recommended fruit varieties for northern gardens, with ripening estimates based on Saskatoon conditions [S1].
