Hey Bert,

This available jostaberry stock sounds like it could have potential to solve
an opportunity, since I'm trying to fill in along the l-o-o-o-o-n-g fence
that encloses one end of the orchard. Is this a decent tasting hybrid, and,
also hardy to zone 5? I'm about to get my pint-sized greenhouse open for
business and have started to designate places on the shelves for different
items.  Cheers, to all. Bizmark.

Hello all
Following is a letter I rec'd which is self explanitory. Anyone interested
in this Johannisberren und Stachelberren hybrid ? I'm up to my armpits in
grapes.    Cheers       Bert
