What kind of berries you will not see now in the markets of Ukraine. However, this year, for the first time, Ukrainian owners massively offer a new berry for our region called yoshta, writes SEEDS. Yoshta is a berry bush, a hybrid of black currant and gooseberry. The plant's name is also “hybrid”: a combination of the German words Johannisbeere - currant and Stachelbeere - gooseberry.

Murawski bred the varieties "Jochemina", "John", "Moro". After that, new hybrids appeared in other countries. Yoshta came to Ukraine not so long ago, but has already managed to get a local name in some places. In the Cherkasy region, for example, this plant is called Bemberts. Now yoshta saplings can be purchased all over Ukraine. The price, as always, depends on the variety and age of the seedlings.
