Jahns Prairie Gooseberry vs Witch Hazel
Ribes oxyacanthoides Jahns Prairie
Hamamelis virginiana
CUSTOM GROW
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON - MIGHT RETURN
Jahns Prairie Gooseberry produces large, delicious red fruit.
Found in the Red Deer River valley by Dr. Otto Jahn in 1984. This cultivar was found to resist insects and disease, tolerate frost, and produce high quality fruit.
Witch Hazel is a deciduous shrub, or small tree, with a short trunk, bearing numerous spreading, crooked branches.
The seeds grow in a long, wooden pod with two to four seeds per pod. Upon ripening, the pods burst, firing the seeds up to 30km an hour.
The leaf and bark extract of Witch Hazel has been used as a remedy to common ailments such as inflammation, bruises and much more for many centuries.
