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

Grown from Seed

Fresh eating quality is unknown, since these are grown from seed. But they’re a must in the Montana garden.

Built for Brutal Winters

Hardy to Zone 2. We’ve never seen even the slightest sign of winter damage, even during those crazy fall frosts (-10°F to -20°F in October) that few other places in the country ever experience. These early cold snaps are often more intense than -40°F in mid-January because the plants haven’t even hardened off for winter yet.

Current Plant Size

These shrubs are 2–3 feet tall and have nice root systems.
