About Jogranda
Jogranda is a jostaberry selection producing dark purple-black fruit on a vigorous, thornless hybrid shrub. Its berries have the characteristic tangy, aromatic blend of black currant and gooseberry.
Growing Jogranda Jostaberry
Grow in Zones 3 to 8 with full sun and consistent moisture. It is self-fertile; thin older branches during dormancy for good air movement and pick ripe fruit once it has turned fully dark and comes away easily.
