12 Jostaberry Cuttings Unrooted Ribes nidigrolaria

Jostaberry is a deciduous fruiting shrub that is a cross between black currant and gooseberry. It produces large, dark, glossy berries with a flavor that is tart and sweet, excellent for fresh eating and culinary use. The plants are vigorous, thornless, and known for their reliable yields and ornamental value in the garden landscape.

These unrooted cuttings are intended for propagation and will require rooting before planting out. Jostaberry thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs best in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. The berries ripen in mid to late summer and are versatile for jams, jellies, pies, and freezing. Plants are self-fertile and generally begin fruiting within two to three years after rooting.
