I bought this as a bare-root plant. It seemed to be healthy and put on a lot of growth the first two years. The fruits were smaller than expected and not very tasty, but they may not have been fully ripe, and I had no other gooseberry experience to compare them to. After the second or third winter a lot of the shrub had died back and it didn't look too good anymore, so I ended up taking it out.
