What is Jostaberry?

Jostaberry or ribes nidigrolaria can be a new name for many people because it is a relatively new kind of berry. It is a hybrid between blackcurrant and gooseberry, which takes the best properties of both and combines them into a sweet, spicy and fresh berry that prolifically grows on the non -Morish resistant shrub. Dr. Rudolph Bauer achieved initial results for decades of work, but these high -profile plants have only been introduced to the public only recently.

Jostaberry growing shrub requires light soil that has high organic levels. This shrub is great for colder climates and can survive in temperatures that immerse up to -40 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 degrees Celsius); However, if the temperature often drops much below, several test plants should be grown in the first year to see if they can benefit in such a cold environment. It can also withstand warm summer months, making it a great choice for milder climate. Jostaberry Bush can grow onsix feet (1.8 m) or even higher.

Although the plant is not widely available, it can be purchased from a well -supplied kindergarten, online website or catalog. If available, plants are usually sold in pots or bare roots. For those bare roots sold, they should be planted in the early spring months, while the jostaberry flower pot can be planted at any time. They should be planted 6 feet (1.8 m) in full up to partial sunlight, depending on the climate of the area. In the winter months, they should receive a healthy dose of fertilizer, compost and manure to help them survive the cold.

It is best to prune Jostaberry shrub at the end of winter by cutting broken branches. Because the STEM chains are promoted, gardeners can cut some sticks to the ground to support new growth. Each shrub can bring up to £ 12 (5.4 kg) berries every yucho. Berries are initially a green barYou and are in groups of three to five berries on a cluster. Before they are ready for harvest, they are deeply purple and full of vitamin C.

jostaberies can be eaten raw, processed, cooked, frozen or juice. Many people like to make jams and jelly, while others prefer a snack on the berries without ingredients. Since shrubs produce such a large amount of fruit, most people do not have to stick to one use for berries, but they can try them all.
