With large, sweet black fruits, this unnamed variety makes excellent jam and is high in antioxidants and total phenolics—making it a healthy addition to the garden.

Fresh Eating & Origin

The fresh eating quality of these is still unknown, as they’re from seed. But for jam? They're a must in the Montana garden.

Unmatched Cold Tolerance

We’ve never seen the slightest sign of winter damage, even during those wild fall frosts (-10°F to -20°F in October) that few other places in the country experience. Honestly, those early freezes might even be more intense than a -40°F deep freeze in January—because the plants often haven’t hardened off yet.

Hardy to Zone 2 (-40°F or colder).

These shrubs are 2–3 feet tall and come with nice, healthy root systems.
