Gooseberry Thornless
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.
