A cross between a gooseberry and a blackcurrant, a novelty exhibit at the Woolston Horticultural Society’sannual show at the Woolston School, Christchurch, on Saturday, attracted interest, not only because of its comparative rarity, but also because of the qualities which recommend it both as an eating and a cooking fruit. It is called a Worcester berry. The fruit, which grows on bushes resembling the gooseberry, is small in size and combines in its flavour the tartness of the gooseberry and the sweetness of the blackcurrant. The colour is darkish blue. Mrs J. Jack, who displayed a plant laden with the fruit, recommends the Worcester berry as “excellent for jam.”
