Josta

Josta jostaberry bush produces fruits that visually resemble very large blackcurrants.

The flavour is similar to blackcurrant, with a tangy character, but the berries are larger. Their texture is closer to gooseberry, while keeping a blackcurrant aroma.

Josta is not sensitive to powdery mildew and is a very healthy, disease-resistant plant.

This variety ripens later than Anita.

Josta is self-fertile, so a single plant can produce fruit.

It is a hybrid between blackcurrant and gooseberry. Unlike gooseberry, jostaberry is thornless.

We supply Josta as a bush, with several branches starting from the base of the plant. Fruiting may be possible in the year of planting.
