About Gooseberry
Gooseberries are one of the most productive small fruits for cold climates — fat tart berries that ripen in early summer before most other fruit. They actually need cold winters to thrive, making them perfect for northern growers.
Plant in fall or early spring. Tolerates partial shade well. Prune to an open bowl shape for air circulation. Harvest when berries turn translucent for eating fresh, or green-ripe for pies and jam. Thorny — wear gloves.
