European Gooseberry, Ribes grossularia, Ribes uva-crispa
Europe
-
Early July to mid-August
Harvested when the fruit is greenish. Picking is done manually, and harvested fruit should not be left in the sun as it spoils easily. Gooseberries are a rich source of vitamins A and C, manganese, potassium, and dietary fiber. They also contain smaller amounts of pantothenic acid, folates, thiamine, pyridoxine, copper, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Gooseberries are believed to help prevent hair loss. 100 grams of berries contain only 44 calories and provide 25% of the recommended daily intake of dietary fiber, making them ideal for weight loss diets.
The fruit has a sweet-tart flavor.
The berries are larger than currants, with greenish-yellow or pink coloration. The skin is covered with fine hairs, though some varieties have smooth skins.
Self-pollinating.
Resistant to low temperatures, surviving winter dormancy down to -25 °C, though frost damage can occur at -35 °C. Sensitive to high summer temperatures, which may cause leaf scorch. Spraying is generally not necessary.
You can purchase seedlings of Gooseberry at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
