Not usually seen in the shops the best way to the Gooseberry is to grow your own. Versatile plants they can be grown as bushes, as a half standard or as cordons. Happy in most fertile well drained soils even tolerating partial shade. Best if planted in a sheltered position. We do not grow Gooseberries ourselves, but are offering non organic bushes.
We are offering three varieties – two dessert and one culinary. The dessert varieties can be cooked aswell. Plant 1.5-1.8m (5-6′) apart and grow on a leg. Plant closer is space is limited and trim.
