CASEILLE JOSTA AB - PLANT
RIBES nigrum x r.divaricata
The Josta caseille is a compact and robust bush, reaching about 1.5 m in height and 1 m in width. Its vigorous branches bear large, slightly later, tangy-tasting black-brown fruits. These fruits, very rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and pectin, are perfect for making jams, juices or sorbets.
The caseille adapts to all types of soil and can thrive in the sun or partial shade, especially in very hot regions. It requires a cold winter for good fruiting. Not very demanding in water and particularly hardy, it is satisfied with a simple mulch to be autonomous in most French regions.
