Try adding lemon juice to the red currant jam; should prevent molding as well
I'm really glad we have 3 jostaberry bushes in the yard. They're 2.5 years old and the one in the best sun flowered this year. Really looking forward to next year. The canes are starting to get absolutely massive (3/4" in diameter at the base or larger), and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets to be 6' tall (they're maybe 4' tall right now). If I have more space I'm going to try the "jostine" variety. I've been jamming cuttings from my jostaberries in a garden bed to give to friends. We'll see if they take. :)
I just bought this plant
Looks good 👍
My recommendation of black current is narve viking. Not as tart as they usually are.
Sounds nice, like it might make nice wine too. I found a place here in Australia that sells them, along with boysenberry so i may get one, but I am currently after a sweet cherry tree
Have had Lapin's cherry preform well amongst others and it's a self fruitful variety
@@JohnDoe_88 thanks, i will have to keep an eye open for one
I think you should definitely give the black currants another try. Just like most fruits it’s all about finding the right cultivar. I tried the Kirovchanka from Raintree last year and was very happy with its flavor right off the bush. The description of Crandall in their catalog sounds very promising as well for fresh eating.
I may have to try that cultivar from raintree, I had read that in tests black down currant was unanimous the best for fresh eating so that's what I bought before and agree it's a good eating berry also. Crandall is great I have it although not technically a black currant it's in the honeysuckle family and creates trumpet shaped amazing smelling bright yellow flowers in spring it's a great plant, the berries can hang on the bush for awhile and their flavor gets better as it does its good fresh eating.
@@JohnDoe_88 Crandall is a different type of currant (it's not ribes nigrum, but ribes odoratum). I haven't had a chance to try a fully ripe currant from them, but they seem to be super prolific; ours bloomed and set fruit this year and we had just planted it this spring from a 3.5" pot. You're right about the flowers, they're a different shape. Great for attracting hummingbirds with their fairly early blooms.
There are top currant cultivars for fresh eating which I have and can attest they taste good fresh.
Black - Black downtown currant
Red- Jonkeer Von Tets
White - Imperial / Primus
Pink- Pink Champagne
Can't go wrong with those. And im
Currently growing new gooseberry varieties to try I have Jeanne, pixwell, yellow and red hinnomaki, black velvet, captivator, Jahns prairie, welcome and a couple improved Jostaberry called orus8 and Jostine (supposed to be best tasting). Ive heard yellow hinnomaki (from onegreenworld) tastes most unique like apricot which I can't wait to try but the plant is young and hasn't fruited yet... But I have a feeling I'll be making propagations of the yellow hinnomaki.
How's the Jonkeer taste compare to something like a Red lake? I'm kinda annoyed that our Jonkeer didn't make it and I just replaced it with a Red lake that I bought locally. Nice list of ribes BTW.
@@nmnate I haven't tried red lake but heard Jonkeer is one of the if not the sweetest. Jonkeer berries are large and great complex sweet flavor can't go wrong, although I'm surprised yours didn't survive, I like to try to plant new perennials as early in spring as possible with thick woodchip mulch around to set up best for winter usually works. I air layered my jonkeer this spring on a couple branches with a plastic cup and once I saw roots I cut the cups off and now I have two new jonkeer currants in the ground now growing. Ribes are great they root easily so seeking the top cultivars to expand out is a must!
Thanks for the list. Ourus 8 looks fantastic.
@@JohnDoe_88 Ah, the plant had a rough time. It was organic and came infested with some weevils so I quarantined all the plants in my garage for 2 or 3 weeks (after drenching the soil with a systemic). Most of my other ribes, even if they're beat up from being transported, seem to bounce back strong the 2nd year (if I get them in the ground early enough). Around here the redcurrants seem to do better with a little more shade, I think I have some spots that I can cram in some more bushes :)
@@RossRaddi Yes I just planted Orus8, Jostine and red Jostaberry this year and bet they're great to have too since regular jostaberry is great. My young yellow hinnomaki I'm craving to try too..
Will a Jostaberry pollinate with a blackcurrant? I want to get a blackcurrant and a Jostaberry hoping they will pollinate each other for better crops.
What state are you? Are they good for 9b?
PA. They do need chill hours. You'll have to experiment to find out.
Ross where did you get the jostaberry , im in Mass. and i cant find any one who can ship it to Mass. are there restriction in Penn. ?
I bought my jostaberry hardwood cuttings off of eBay. Every single one has rooted
I like in Boston and got my Jostaberry at home depot lol. You might find one this year, it's the right time to go find one!
i got mine off Amazon
Will these berries grow in the tropics?
I don't think so. They need dormancy for flowering
@@RossRaddiok thanks
Mine is 6 years old and still not fruiting!
same here. i am thinking now i am not getting the chill hours so thinking of removing it. I am in Sydney which is a comparable climate to San Francisco.
I’ve heard it wont fruit if there is too much nitrogen.
Ri-beez. Two syllables.
Great information. Good video...until you talked about how Great your video was.
😂
