A gorgeous yellow leafed form of the Himalayan Chocolate Berry. While many golden foliaged plants can sometimes look like they are in need of a little nitrogen, this one is a nice subtle gold with a purple red edging along the leaf’s edge on new growth. Produces just as much fruit as the green leafed form but can maybe withstand more shade given the yellow foliage.
No, this is not a high elevation relative of cacao but rather a honeysuckle relative from the Himalaya that produces pendulous clusters of beautiful purple to brown berries that have a taste reminiscent of chocolate, burnt sugar or raisins depending on who you ask. We were first introduced to the Himalayan Chocolate Berry on a perfect August day at the Bullock Brothers’ Permaculture Homestead and have been fond of it ever since.

Orus 8 gooseberry is actually a hybrid between a black currant and a red gooseberry just like the famed jostabery, though the Orus 8 gooseberry looks much more like a gooseberry than a currant. Fruits from Orus 8 are deep purple and considered the best for fresh eating of any gooseberry. Orus 8 plants have some thorns but less than a typical gooseberry.
