A new fruit bush that has been available since 2012. Grow the Chuckleberry like a Blackcurrant. Plant 1.2-1.5m (4-5′) apart. Grow as stoolbed bushes where the branching arises from soil level

Plant a little deeper than on the nursery to encourage branching from below soil level. After planting reduce branching to a couple of buds above soil level. Mark the plants well because little will be visible initially.

However the Chuckleberry will quickly grow in a sheltered, fertile site with plenty of sunlight. Some shade can be tolerated.

    Chuckleberry
    £7.25

    Availability: In stockOut of stock

    High yielding and easy to pick fruiting at the same time as other currant fruits in June-July. Blackcurrant like fruits with the flavours of the three parents. Good for desserts, juicing & jam making. Little sign of seeds when cooked or juiced. Organic plants.

    The Chuckleberry has arisen as a result of crossing Redcurrant Rovada with Goosberry Pax to produce a seedling and Redcurrant Rovada with Jostaberry to produce another seedling. These two seedling were then crossed with each other to produce the Chuckleberry. With high quality parentage disease resistance seems to be good.
