I have Hinnonmaki Red, Jahn’s Prairie and a native wild variety to Arkansas. I train my bushes like roses with a trunk of 6 inches and branches shaped like a vase. Gooseberries sucker mightily. I cut out all them so I don’t end up like Snow White’s Enchanted Briar Forest. I prefer the ripe berries. They are small but delicious. It’s like a cross between a plum and a raspberry. Thanks!

All of my gooseberries and currants are dieing. I think the high humidity is the issues. Looks like you have an amazing collection. I hope you do a a fulm tour sometime!

Thanks for the video. I suppose all varieties are equally susceptible to the gooseberry worm that eats the leaves. I've got the Hinnomaki Red, tastes like bubble gum :) grows in zone 4b fairly well. I like the idea of growing them as standards with a trunk.

I have Hinnonmaki Red, Captivator, and Invicta all fruiting for me for the first time this year and I thought Captivator was my favorite in size and flavor. I had a Jahn’s Prairie variety die on me so maybe I will replace it with a Poorman. Thanks for the review!

Black Velvet is pretty good and the bush grows crazy fast. Berries have been on the smaller size. The smaller berries make a good pie and/or jam. My Poorman almost died to mildew its first year, so I haven't gotten any berries yet. Birds have been my main gooseberry problem.

Black velvet is very good, better than hinnomaki red in my opinion. Way way better than pixwell

Gooseberries grow well in pots too, if a person doesn't have much space. My poorman made pounds of berries this year in a 4 gallon pot.

how do you keep the deer from eating them. Mine can't fruit because the deer love's their leaves.
