How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally unbothered by pests and diseases. Watch out from early spring for gooseberry sawfly which can destroy foliage. This doesn't usually affect the crop but to avoid them getting out of hand, pick them off or hose them down then spray the plant with soapy water.

Water during dry spells

Water well when first planted. Watering your gooseberry plant thereafter is rarely required, except during dry spells.

Full sun

Gooseberries can deal with a little light shade but fruit best in a sheltered position with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily

Any well drained soil

Gooseberries thrive in most soil types, but prefer it to be well drained and to contain plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost

Feed annually

In late winter, feed with a general purpose granular fertiliser to promote healthy growth ?v=1613300929
