I don't know all the varieties you named above--but just wanted to tell you
I have a Gooseberry bush (very thorny) that was passed down to me by an old, Estonian man
maybe 30 years ago..
I also have 2 extras of the bigger bush growing well in 2gal pots.
It does not produce many berries and they seldom ripen. I think the birds beat me to it.
I also believe that Gooseberries prefer a more northern climate. Too hot here...
I had to dig up the original bush so it ended up being divided in extra sections.
Only ONCE, in all these year, I got enough ripe berries to make some jam.
Any secrets to a more productive fruiting bush???
1--here is the bigger bush. It is in a huge pot in almost full sun.
The "things" hanging above it are fronds of my 2 Epis.
2--Here are a few berries (still green) on th bush,
3--Here are the two extras doing Ok in 2 gal pots on top of some cinder blocks.
