Pixwell Gooseberry Plant

The Pie Maker's Favorite

Vigorous, low-maintenance shrub
Tart pink berries ripen in July
Ideal for the edible landscape

Introduced in the 1930s, Pixwell Gooseberry produces big green berries that ripen to pale pink in the summertime. The medium-to-large tart berries are excellent baked into pies or made into preserves. The easy-care, vigorous shrub grows 4-5 ft. tall and often bears gooseberries the second year after planting. At maturity, the drought-tolerant and cold-hardy bush will yield 4-6 quarts of easy-to-pick fruits. Pixwell Gooseberry can be planted as a fruiting hedge in the edible landscape. Self pollinating. Zones 3-6.
