Jostaberry Jostaberry The jostaberry ("Ribes" × "nidigrolaria") is a complex-cross fruit bush in the genus "Ribes", involving three original species, the black currant "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, which is descended from just two of these species, "R. nigrum" and "R. uva-crispa". The cultivated plants are tetraploid. They are descended from two separate first-generation crosses, both of which produced very few fruit. Fertile tetraploids were produced using colchicine. The name "Jostaberry" was created via combining the German words for blackcurrant and
Ribes sanchezii x 5mm and covered with simple hairs long. The fruit strongly resupinate. La Libertad. It replaces widespread "R. colandina" on the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Oriental and forms dense stands at the upper limit of the cloud forest at the Abra CallaCalla, where it is one of the most abundant shrub species. Ribes sanchezii Ribes sanchezii is a species of currant, named after Peruvian botanist Isidoro Sánchez Vega of Cajamarca. This species of "Ribes" is distinct form both "R. andicola" and "R. colandina" because of its ovate to elliptical leaves with a very poorly developed lateral lobe and its
