Description
The Jostabeere is a hybrid between black currant (Ribes nigrum) and gooseberry (Ribes uva-crispa), combining the best traits of both parents: aromatic dark berries without the irritating thorns. It grows vigorously and is robust against powdery mildew and canker. A single plant yields well because it is self‑fertile.
Care instructions
Plant the vigorous shrub in autumn (October, week 43) with adequate spacing in a sunny location on humus-rich soil. Annually prune after harvest by removing some of the oldest shoots to keep the bush airy. Mulch well and water during dry summers so the branches become full of berries.
