The fruit was developed in Europe and is completely resistant to fungal dieback, currant bud mite, and white pine blister. The fruit is fully ripe when it turns to a dark blue-black color.

Soil for Jostaberries

Jostaberries are more tolerant and they need moisture for the fruits to develop. Their soil is a rich well-drained. It will not dry out easily. It will also grow well on normal soils.

How do plant Jostaberries

jostaberry plant
  • Dig the soil to depth a couple of months before planting. This will make the soil to settle. Add as much well-rotted compost or long lasting fertilizer.

  • The best time to plant Jostaberries bushes is early winter and they can also be planted any time up to mid-March as long as the soil is not frozen. The plants must be spaced about 1.8m apart and dig a hole wide and sufficient to take the roots without cramping them.

  • The bushes produce a large number of stems from just below ground level. To maintain this growth, plant the bushes roughly 5cm deeper than they were in the pot. Fill the roots with soil and taut it down with your foot.

How do store Jostaberries

The fruits are ready for harvest while they are nearly black. Try to pick them in dry conditions.
