Gooseberries

These hardy, productive plants bear berries that are high in Vitamins A, B, C and several minerals. Mature plants can bear up to 10 quarts each year. Gooseberries are native to cool climate areas and tend to grow well in the Northeast, Midwest and Pacific Northwest. If you are planning to plant them in a warmer climate give them a cooler area or some shade. Gooseberries are self-fertile and bear single fruits along the sometimes thorny stems. They bear fruits of green, yellow, red, or pink. Some varieties produce berries as large as a grape. These adaptable plants also add interesting texture to the landscape in all seasons. USDA zones 3-8.
