Nice!
Reviewed By: Susan (Aledo , TX)
I ordered 2. The 12" tall by 12" wide plants arrived in great condition and already budding out. They have leafed out and grown some in the past month. I don't know if they will bloom/set fruit this season, but I'm looking forward to next year.

Easiest small berry
Reviewed By: Linda (Bowie, MD)
I ordered several small berries, and this one is doing the best after 3 years. Lots of berries, birds leave it alone, the kids love them! It is doing great in a large pot too.

Deadly

To raise gooseberrys in Florida Zone 9 is an empossible task. They will look good until the summer sun does them in.
