Hi,

There is a fellow not too far from me that had his entire
crop of Titania refused by a processor because the sugar
content was too low.

The grower blamed the Titania cultivar, and was looking for
a new one, as I recall.

Is Titania lower in sugar than some other black currant
cultivars?

Later,
Tom
