Jostaberry (Giant Josta)

$14.99

We didn’t know we needed the Giant Josta until we recently met up with one the great collectors of Currants in the country. Little did we know the Giant Josta trumps the standard black jostaberry that most of us know of. Hopefully this lives up to the hype of having a better berry and bigger fruit clusters.
