Jostaberry is a cross between black currant, the North American coastal black gooseberry, and the European gooseberry. The flavor certainly has hints of both currant and gooseberry, with a slightly stronger currant flavor. It’s definitely worth growing!

Early Fruiting & Cold Hardiness

One of the first fruiting shrubs we grew, Jostaberry is hardy to at least Zone 2, making it perfect for colder climates.

Plant Size & Root System

These Jostaberries are 1–2 feet tall and have really nice fine root hairs. They’re going into their third year.
