Pixwell Gooseberry
General Information
Pixwell Gooseberry is a nice fruiting shrub. It is a medium sized plant, growing upwards of 4 feet tall. It grows in an overall rounded fashion, with a vigorous growth rate. Nice deep green foliage gives the plant a good appearance throughout the growing season. Reddish-green flowers in the early springtime, but do not add a great deal of ornamental appeal. Abundant, medium to large berries follow the flowers. They ripen to a light pink color, typically in July. The berries are tart and are excellent for a variety of baking and dessert uses. This variety is said to have much fewer thorns than the average gooseberry plant.
