Gooseberry Thornless
Botanical Name: Ribes uva-crispa
Large yellow-green berries are borne on this almost thornless variety that forms a bush rather than the traditional cane habit. The berries are tart and can be used to make wonderful jams, jellies, desserts and pies.
| How To Grow | Will grow in most soils but prefers a mild Summer. The fruits are produced from 1 year old wood so a light annual pruning after fruiting is recommended and removal of old wood to thin out every 3-4 years. Needs a cold Winter to ensure adequate fruit set. Plant: Cover roots 150cm apart in full sun. |
