My Hardiness Zone
?
The USDA hardiness zones offer a guide to varieties that will grow well in certain climates. Each zone corresponds to the minimum winter temperatures experienced in a given area. Make sure that your hardiness zone lies within the zone compatibility range of this variety before ordering.
Pollination
This variety is self pollinating.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!

a bit thorny.... :)
Produced fruit following season. Not many, but need to be patient. Unfortunately I started to have bindweed coming up at the root balls, so it is a bit tricky to weed under the bushes. Invest in some good gloves if you need to weed on your gooseberry patch :) . They send up an occasional shoot but not invasive

This bush is great. I have several of them. At first, I was hesitant because it doesn't have a fancy name, but it turns out the most berries of all my gooseberry bushes.
The berries are green with a pink tinge, and sweet when ripe - last week in June/first week in July.
The berries are dime size, so they are small.
No disease issues as with other gooseberries I have on my farm(zone 6b/7).
Highly recommend!

Pink Gooseberry
All of my gooseberry bushes made it through the winter, but as yet I have seen no berries. I am assuming that it takes a few years for the bushes to actually produce berries.
