Harvest
Grow gooseberry variety Invicta on your plot at home. It crops twice as heavily as other varieties and gives you large, pale green berries.
This variety is highly resistant to mildew, a benefit well-recognized by the fruit committee at the Royal Horticutural Society.
Invicta is an excellent choice for cooking for crumbles and stewing to make jam as the fruit holds its shape and colours well.
How To Grow
Gooseberries thrive in sunny or partially shaded locations with fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare the planting site by removing weeds and enriching the soil with organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure. For bare root plants, soak the roots in water for an hour before planting. Dig a hole large enough to spread the roots comfortably, and position the crown level with the soil surface. Water thoroughly after planting.
For potted plants, ensure the root ball is well-hydrated before planting. Space bushes about 1.5m apart or standards 1m apart, allowing adequate air circulation. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune annually in late winter to encourage healthy growth and fruit production. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and net plants if birds become a problem. Gooseberries and jostaberries are low-maintenance and productive with proper care.
Guide To Plant Sizes
Gooseberries are available as bare root plants, 9cm potted plants, and larger potted specimens. Bare root plants are supplied dormant, typically between November and March, and are ideal for planting directly in the ground during the dormant season. They establish quickly once planted.
9cm potted plants are smaller, actively growing plants perfect for container gardens or transplanting into prepared soil. Larger potted plants are well-developed and provide an instant impact, whether for borders or patio containers. These are great for gardeners seeking faster results. All sizes will grow into productive plants with the right care, yielding delicious fruit within 1–2 years of planting.
