JOSTABERRY - Heritage Shrub
BLACK CURRANT-GOOSEBERRY HYBRID
please call ahead for availability THE TANGY-SWEET FLAVOR OF JOSTABERRY IS UNIQUE:
A MIX OF CURRANT, BLUEBERRY, GRAPE AND KIWI FRUIT.
Jostaberries are about 3 times larger than a traditional currant and are deep purple in color. They can be the size of a grape! If left to fully ripen on the bush they are sweet so you can eat them fresh as you pick them. A Jostaberry can be cooked and used in preserves, sauces, pies, puddings, juice, liqueurs, wine, or whatever your creativity creates. For example, they also are used to make jams, relishes, and chutneys. They freeze well and when thawed can be eaten as fresh. The ripe fruit will hang on the bush in good condition late July through to late August. 10 to 15 pounds of fruit is possible per bush.
Jostaberry bushes may be grown as free-standing shrubs, planted as a hedgerow, or trained against a wall or fence as espaliers. They are self-fertile, thornless, and mature at 6 feet tall and about 4 feet wide. They are early to leaf out in spring and late to drop sunny yellow leaves in fall. Healthy bushes will bear fruit for 10 to 15 years or more. Jostaberry is easy to grow, vigorous, productive, and resistant to both pests and diseases. It is also deer resistant and drought tolerant. Jostaberry bushes attract hummingbirds and butterflies to your garden. Zones 3 - 8, surviving temperatures down to minus 40 degrees F.
