I'm considering ordering these varieties and would like some input about them...
Catherina A pretty good variety, early fairly susceptible to Mildew
Hinnonmaki Red Good, resistant, a good "cooker"
Jahn's Prarie Very resistant, a bit of a shy bearer, very good flavor, late
Jonkeer Van Tets A good early red currant
Jostaberry In my opinion, not worth planting, varible yields, not as good as black currant or gooseberry
How are these varieties? Are any of them not worth planting?
I would add Invicta Gooseberry, it is a very high yielding berry and has very good resistance to mildew. The berries are large and very tasty
