What is the Ben/Glen series of blackcurrants/raspberries and where can I buy them?
The blackcurrants and raspberries bred at SCRI can be readily identified by their names – each is prefixed by Ben in the case of blackcurrants, for example, Ben Hope, or by Glen for raspberry, for example, Glen Ample. A further example is the Loch series of SCRI-bred blackberries, for example, Loch Ness. Our varieties can be found in specialist fruit nurseries/propagators and good garden centres. Always buy plants from a reputable source to ensure material of a high health status.
