Eagle is a Canadian black currant raised by William Saunders in London, Ontario, from Naples before 1887. Its productive bushes bear tart, strongly flavoured berries suited to jam and to fresh eating for those who enjoy an assertive black currant flavour.
Growers report its flavour as stronger than Tenah's.
Historical descriptions call its berries large and briskly acid, on vigorous, productive bushes, with a midseason harvest.
