A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
Jostaberry is a Blackcurrant x Gooseberry. The thornless. black, shiny fruits are a similar size to a small Gooseberry. They inherit the refreshing taste of blackcurrants and the acidic flavour of gooseberries.
The delicious berries are best when they’re eaten fresh and can also be cooked. As well as being very tasty, the fruits are also rich in Vitamin C and are very nutritious.
A very vigorous shrub. Self fertile so they don’t need a pollination partner.
