Commonly Asked Questions
How long does it take for a gooseberry bush to bear fruit?
Gooseberry bushes will produce fruit on 2-3-year-old stems. The berries start to appear in June, and although they will be green and under-ripe at this stage, it is the ideal time to pick a few berries for jams, pies, and tarts. The berries will be fully ripe in July and August.
Where is the best place to plant a gooseberry bush?
Gooseberries are robust and hardy plants that can be grown in a wide range of locations. They cope in most soil conditions but prefer moist, well-drained ground. They can also be planted in large containers. They crop best and produce sweeter fruits in a sunny position, but will tolerate some shade.
Do you need two gooseberry bushes?
Gooseberry bushes are self-fertile, which means you don't need to plant two or more gooseberry plants together for a good crop. One plant on its own will produce a good crop.
What should you not plant next to gooseberries?
Crops such as parsnips and fennel should not be positioned near gooseberry beds as they are reported to attract sawfly.
Can gooseberries grow in pots?
You don't need a huge garden – they're just as happy in containers as in the ground – and while they prefer sun, they can certainly cope with shade. Whether you have gooseberry fools on the horizon or a penchant for homemade jam, growing your own gooseberries is a fruitful endeavour.
