Jostaberry – Ribes × nidigrolaria
€6.90
Tax included
The best of blackcurrant and gooseberry, without the thorns: large, juicy black berries in July. Self-fertile, it fruits on its own, in the vegetable garden or in a large container on a balcony.
The jostaberry has inherited the large, pulpy berries of the gooseberry, and the milder aroma and thornless stems of the blackcurrant. It forms a dense bush 1.5 to 2 m tall that can be picked without bending down. Its berries of about 1.5 cm have the taste of blackcurrant and the sweet pulp of gooseberry.
