Gooseberry Bushes

Fruit Plants, Fruit Trees, Fruit Bushes & Nut Trees

Gooseberries are often thought to be easy to grow but they really need care to produce plants that will bear a good crop of easily pickable berries each year. They are not a popular as they used to be in the 19th century when gooseberry clubs and shows abounded. But they are making a comeback.

There's a guide to growing gooseberries on the site here: Grow Your Own Gooseberries

Cape Gooseberry Seeds

Exotic fruits for the greenhouse or sunny patio. Branching plants that can attain 180cm (6') in height, producing masses of fruits that are ready to harvest when calyces have changed from green to golden brown (if picked and left in husks they can be stored for months). The sweet fruits are delicious in jams, pies or eaten raw.
