Ribes ×nidigrolaria
The jostaberry is a thornless hybrid fruit shrub, a cross of blackcurrant, gooseberry and a North American black gooseberry, grown for its nearly black berries. It is a hardy, easy garden bush that grows to about 2 m and needs room to spread.
The jostaberry (Ribes × nidigrolaria) is a complex-cross fruit bush in the genus Ribes, involving three original species: the blackcurrant R. nigrum, the North American coastal black gooseberry, R. divaricatum, and the European gooseberry, R. uva-crispa. It is similar to Ribes × culverwellii, the jochelbeere (sometimes also called black negus), which is descended from just two of these species, R. nigrum and R. uva-crispa.
