| One planted late 04. When, how to prune? Will this delay fruiting in 05? Will it fruit in 05? Do I need more plants to get fruit anyway? All info greatly appreciated. Regards. pict01. |

| hello pict01 I have one plant. It didnt fruit the first year I had it. I read that you prune the branches that do not bear fruit, so wait until the plant has fruited. You dont need a pollinator. Cuttings take really easily. Just treat it like a black current. |

Hello Pict01,
I've never heard of anyone having success with Jostaberries, has anyone out there had any luck with them?

| Jostaberry requires a colder climate than Melbourne to produce reliably. You need to be in the hills to the north or west. Really, it's a choice between lemon trees and the currant family. |
