I had been under the impression that black currants were not self-fertile,
but this description from
a U of Minnesota write-up says Titania black currant is self-fertile. Can
anyone confirm this?
This would be great for me because I planted quite a few plants and cuttings
last spring of Titania
and Jonkheer Van Tets (thanks to Sam Brungardt), but the identification tags
had been lost so I
don't know which is which until they fruit, and I may not have planted them
near enough to another
black current variety. I guess the Jonkheer Van Tets at least will fruit
since they are
self-fertile red currants. But, (Titania) being self-fertile should increase
yield in any case.

*/Titania/*
A very promising cultivar. High yields of large high-quality berries are
borne earlier---within
three years after planting---than other cultivars. Very vigorous, tall
plants are immune to
blister rust and have good resistance to powdery mildew. Self-fertile:
no other variety need be
planted to get good crops from Titania.
