Boskoop Giant is an old Dutch black currant introduced more than a century ago. This vigorous and reliable cultivar produces heavy crops of exceptionally large, juicy berries.
Boskoop Giant was raised near Boskoop around 1880 or earlier and introduced in England by George Bunyard and Company in 1895. Breeders later crossed it with Baldwin to produce currants including Mendip Cross and Wellington XXX.
