Ribes Jostaberry

Ribes ‘Jostaberry’ is a unique and productive fruiting plant that is a cross between a black currant (Ribes nigrum) and a gooseberry (Ribes uva-crispa). This hybrid plant inherits the best qualities of both its parent plants, offering dark, juicy berries that are larger than a black currant but smaller than a gooseberry. The berries ripen to a deep, glossy black colour and have a sweet-tart flavour that is perfect for jams, jellies, pies, and desserts. ‘Jostaberry’ is known for its vigorous growth, disease resistance, and ability to thrive in a variety of climates. It is a popular choice for home gardens and orchards, providing a bountiful harvest of delicious and nutritious berries.
