Jostaberry

Ribes x nidigrolaria

This unique hybrid of blackcurrant and gooseberry produces large, dark, sweet-tart fruit on a vigorous, thorn-free, mildew-resistant plant that combines the best traits of both parents.

  • Large, glossy dark berries with a rich flavour between blackcurrant and gooseberry
  • Completely thorn-free, far easier to harvest than gooseberry
  • Resistant to American gooseberry mildew and white pine blister rust
  • Vigorous and productive, heavy annual crops from a young plant
  • Fruit is excellent fresh, dried, in jams, and for winemaking
