What's a sunberry ? I've never heard of them.
Another blackberry-raspberry cross. Shiny fruit, not the best tasting of
these hybrids.
Ah, so. I like the two fruits individually so much I don't think I'd like
a
cross.
Sunberry may be what we know as worcesterberry.
No- sunberry is given as raspberry x blackberry in Hessayon's
'the Fruit Expert'. Worcesterberry is in the currant family.
It grows as a small very
dark gooseberry - we are just beginning to pick our two bushes of it
this week. They are interesting enough as a novelty, but we prefer to
rely on straight gooseberries - and later on blackberries for reliable
annual supplies.
According to Joanna Readman in her 'Fruity Stories'; a jostaberry is a
cross between a blackcurrant and a gooseberry; and a worcesterberry is a
small, purple, very thorny gooseberry - I believe it to be a blackberry
cross with gooseberry.
I think you mean blackcurrant, in any case.
have fun,
