To keep your Gooseberries healthy and productive we need to prune then this is quite easy if you follow a few simple rules
Gooseberries make fruit in 2 places: little spurs on the old wood and at the base of side-shoots that grew the year before.
It should take 2 years to shape your plant into a sturdy framework of mostly upright branches which all point more or less away from the centre.
With a mature bush, you just need to keep the centre free of ingrowing branches and trim back the new season's side shoots to help divert energy to the berries that will appear at their bases.
If pruning a standard its exactly the same just on top of the main growing stem.
Always use Sharpe secateurs as clean cuts heal much better
Once the shape of the Gooseberry bush is established normally 2 or 3 years
its just a matter of maintaining the shape
SUMMER PRUNING: In the first week of July but no earlier, prune new side-shoots to 5 leaves. Dont prune the main branches unless the tips have mildew.
WINTER PRUNING: During the winter, cut back the leading stems by a third to a half of their new growth. Now shorten all the lateral side-shoots that you took down to 5 leaves in the summer: this time, cut them back to two buds. If you cut them back to three buds, you will get more, smaller but more fruit

Really like the guys simple instruction, knowledge and ease of transferring information.
Thanks! Very useful to hear about the upward facing buds!
Thank you one of the best instructional videos I’ve seen in a while!
Great, clear instructions thank you for sharing!
Thank you. We Love your videos!
Thankyou for this.🙏you re a fantastic presenter.👍
Very clear instructions. Thank you :-)
clear and concise thank you
Thank you for the advice!
Thank you!
Thank you for the video. Very precise and instructive.
Thanks. Very helpful.
Liked overall vid but could've done with some close ups of the 45 deg angle pruning, etc.
Thanks for sharing
I’m just interested in what you presume that a bush small like that would produce this next summer?
Just subscribed to your channel, and enjoying it, looking forward to following you and learning lots. I am growing gooseberries and black currents, and they are just starting to form leaves her in Calgary, Canada.
Very useful. You helped me a lot today with this video :) greetings
thank you! working on a gooseberry farm!
I only prune gooseberries from year 5 onward, unless branches are damaged or hanging too low. The bushes are big, about 5ft-6ft around height/width, I get tons of berries.
Would be great if the Presenter could protect the mic from the wind gusts!
nicely done!
I like the dimensional ripples. Especially on the dogs
when to prune? My bushes are huge compared to that
Think it’s Dec to Mar
Thank you for a nice video. I have a question. We have a Gooseberrybush by our summerhouse which is in Norway by the sea, in a forrest. Noone planted it, guess some birds have eaten some gooseberries and the droppings turned into a bush. It has some gooseberries, but not many, probably due to the fact that I have never done anything with it. The branches are almost 1.5 metres long so how much should I cut them down?
I've just taken over an allotment and there is a huge gooseberry plant there - it looks like it's never been pruned... Is it too late to prune it now (last day of February, south of England), the plant has buds on it. Thank you for your help.
Hello, I have one in my yard, has never do proune for a few years, just wonder, is November good time for pruning? It is from Finland, here we are expecting the first snow today.
So much for getting an answer from this guy. I do hope you found out when to prune, uh 4 years ago. 🙄
Do you have any advice on pruning a gooseberry into a cordon?
The audio stream has wind noise and its too hard to listen. Please edit the audio stream
I just taken on an allotment.
And the Gooseberry's are kind of got a lot of black wood in the middle.
If I cut the growth of I would not have any plant left.
What do you suggest....
My 2 year old bushes are growing well but have no fruit . Will they fruit next year and how do I prune them this winter
3 years on from this comment, how are they? They should be fruiting by now, it "can" take 3-5 years
I can't see what you mean by cross branching or the upward facing buds. Please could you zoom in to the plant so viewers can see what you're doing!
Also prune back all side shoots to 2 buds
What month are you pruning?
But when do you prune?
What about pruning side shoots to 2 buds?
when's the best time to prune gooseberries

As much good as a chocolate fire guard.
One more very important item , the birds get a lot of my berries make sure you put some protection over them they will get them.
Spend 5mins and increase your fruit crop

Didn't make sense to me.
He seemed to be snipping off branches at random.
Surely you saw him pruning off the top 1/3 of the longer branches back to an upward facing bud?
prune in january i think
Bad demo. (Filming) I could to see what you cut off.
this is not gooseberry. Gooseberry grow on three not vine.
Chheng Ros No it's a bush
@chheng Ros You're talking indian gooseberry I reckon aka amla/amalaki
@@AnoNymous-ph4cd I’m talking about the common European originating gooseberry that is in the Ribes genus. The person talking about the tree is talking about the Indian gooseberry.
@@PeteGA Ofcourse. My mistake. I meant to reply to Chenng but accidentally replied to you instead
WHEN?
