Jostaberry is a cross between european currants and gooseberries, taking the best from both. It is a thornless shrub producing dark fruits with a mild black currant flavor. The fruit is larger than a black currant, but smaller than most gooseberries. It is vigorous, productive & disease resistant. Our plants will grow up to 6 feet tall and wide, as they spread by tip-rooting, and they thrive on pruning and can be kept smaller and still productive.
