Home Depot just had a bunch of edible plants like gooseberry, jostaberry, currants, grapes, honeysuckle male/female. The normal raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry too.
I normally grow ground cherry or that they volunteer to grow wherever they want.
as a kid in Southeast Alaska, my friend had a huge gooseberry bush in their yard and I munched my way through hundreds of those delicious things at the perfection of ripeness during many a summer. Darn it, now I’m feeling melancholy! nothing a few gooseberries wouldn’t fix, heh heh.
Hehe normally people worry about bears and deer eating berries.
I love gooseberries. I live in Sweden and grew up with them, what I like most is the bushes are always full every year, and for several weeks I can eat them.
I will add this: massive amounts of vitamin C. Yay!
Gooseberries can be defoliated in late summer by sawfly larvae, hard to see because they're green. They emerge from the soil. Pruning to an open vase shape helps. Spraying hard with water will also knock them off (pick them up and squish them) Here in central Pa. I have that pest some summers on some bushes. Just saying.
They look awesome man
Lots of berries. Wish I could go there to buy some
I am from Thailand 🇹🇭 and I used to love them and I am thinking to Plant them here, any advice will be appreciated 🙏 Where did you get Gooseberries plants 🌱 OMG YOU HAVE A Green thumb ⭐️
They make great pies too.
Ross, I bought seeds but cannot find much info on how to plant/grow them. Can you help?
I was thinking... does it grow in Philippines?
Your grapes are just eating that trellis. I have 3 gooseberries in the ground at the moment (2 more, soon). They seem to like afternoon shade around here, so I have them mostly at the base of larger trees. They seem to be a little more tolerant of the sun than the jostaberries. All have of my gooseberries have vicious thorns, but it's worth the for the fruit.
That they are. Especially since the Mars decided not to fruit this year.
Hi, I have my gooseberry plant for 5 years but have not fruited. Please help :(
Get your soil tested for PH and nutrients and adjust accordingly.
In the Philippines we have this Cape Gooseberry
Quite a different plant
I think I've seen them but didn't know the name😅
Hey there Ross. Container question. Are springtails harmful to fig trees and other common potted trees?
I'm sure they're fine if not in huge numbers.
Do you sell clipping or cuttings of your fruits? I would love to have some .
Every December!
Do you need to winter proof the gooseberry in 7a like you do with figs?
Nope!
Hi can you plant 🌱 them in New York?Would you sell them ?
So I just moved in the spring and found what i thought was just a bush in the yard and i cut this thing down to the ground, like just the wood nubs sticking out like an inch. Its growing back with vengeance and now I wish i didnt just ignorantly chop it down. Will it grow fruit ever again ?
Yes
Oh i like gooseberry
Can they grow in zone 7a?
Do you ever root cuttings off your Gooseberries?
Niiice! 🤗
miss them from my native country,wish they could be grown in Arizona
Grow them even if you have to baby them to grow.
Put them somewhere where they only get morning sun
Could these be grown in zone 10?
Not sure on their chill hours.
I like your hat.
They are a great fruit i have 9 bushs most very thorny , never had a problem until last year all of a sudden got attacked by a small green worm that devoured the foiliage sprayed them good this year at first sign of this worm and no problem.
Wow. Any idea what it was?
@@RossRaddi Its a small green worm that also attacks pine trees ,i think its called currant worm, theres a desease called pine blister thats transferred from currants and gooseberries to pine trees thats why some states dont allow currants and gooseberries shipped into there state.
What state do you live in ? I ask because I'm in California and just ordered two currants and a gooseberry and dont want this happening lol
@@kellykittinger5969 I live in Mass. i think the worm is a particular problem in Mass. keep the bushes well thined allow for extra air cirulation it helps with currants and gooseberries.
Thank you for the reply and advice . It's hot where I am right now and I read they like shade and can get sunburned. Do you find that they deal with a sunny location well ?
Where can you get the seeds
It's best to get bare root plants
Pereneal shrub ???
Why is poison gooseberry called poison gooseberry?

My Gooseberries do not seem to want to fruit. The few they put on disappear before they're ripe. My one bush (Pixwell variety) is now a large beautiful bush, but no fruit. I need to research their pH requirements since you have them with blueberries which are nearly impossible to grow here in the Southwest
Are you sure something isn't getting to them? Gooseberries don't have a special ph requirement.
To me they taste like starfruit
