Features

notes

A unique Finnish red gooseberry suitable for eating straight from the bush or for cooking, this standard form can be used to make a statement in a kitchen garden or container, allowing space for other plants to grow underneath. The deciduous shrub has a bushy habit, bearing pale green flowers in March and April and ready for harvesting from mid July. Self fertile. 

Insights
