Gooseberry 'Jeanne'
Ribes uva-crispa 'Jeanne'
Jeanne is a productive dessert-type gooseberry. It produces large, sweet, flavourful, dark-red berries. If they taste sour, it's because they're not ripe yet! Jeanne has very few thorns and is resistant to powdery mildew and white pine blister rust.
Gooseberries are self-fertile and do not require another variety to cross-pollinate with. It can take 4-5 years for gooseberries to establish and begin producing full yields.
Gooseberries grow best in full to part sun in well-drained, fertile soil. They aren't particularly fussy about their growing conditions as long as the soil is well-drained.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through July, depending on suppliers availability.
Characteristics
Hardiness: Zone 3
Bee-Friendly, Does Not Require Cross-Pollination, and Disease-Resistant
Care
Full sun outdoors (6-8+ hours of direct sun)
Water every 2-4 days for the first year until established (based on outdoor temperature & plant's water consumption).
If it is planted in a pot, it should have a drainage hole to reduce the likelihood of root rot caused by water accumulating in the bottom of the pot.
Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
