The Gooseberry Bush: Ribes uva-crispa / Ribes grossularia
Gooseberry bushes are regaining popularity with delicious old puddings like gooseberry fool and
crumble. Gooseberries are a classic British dessert fruit that is commonly found in countryside jams. In hot parts of Europe, crushed gooseberry drinks are very popular, either with fizzy water, milk or something stronger - well worth a try!
They can be picked early in late May / early June for tart cooking fruit or a bit later for sweeter dessert berries. An established bush can bear up to 6 pounds of fruit each year. Growing Gooseberries: They some pruning before they begin cropping. Gooseberries are self-fertile, so you only need one to give
them a go. All of our Gooseberry Bushes are VAT Free and covered by our guarantee. |
