Ribes ‘josta’
Pot size: #1, #2
A self-pollinating plant that has fruit that is a cross between a black currant and gooseberries. The fruit that is formed is high yielding, large, and black, which will ripen in early Summer. The berries have a subtle sweetness with the tartness of a black currant. Great to eat fresh, make jams, jellies, relishes, chutneys, and can also be processed to make cordials and fruit wines.
The plant is resistant to powdery mildew and white pine blister rust. These cold-hardy plants have a long life, relatively thornless, and very productive once established. The name “Jostaberry” is a combination of the German word for blackcurrant and gooseberry.
