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.
I can also confirm, having seen both and grown one, that Worcesterberry
looks like a black gooseberry, whereas sunberry looks like an oversized
raspberry.
According to Joanna Readman in her 'Fruity Stories'; a jostaberry is a
cross between a blackcurrant and a gooseberry;
I know tha't right, it comes from German: Blackcurrant = JOhannesbeer
Gooseberry = STAchelbeer hence JOSTA.
