Gooseberry Careless
OUT OF STOCK
When talking about soft fruit in the British garden, one of the first varieties that pops to mind is the Gooseberry, sometimes known as Ribes, a traditional favourite in the UK since the 19th Century. Their popularity lies in their culinary versatility, ease of growing and suitability to our climate. One of the most commonly known and grown varieties in this country is Careless, a winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, producing high yields of crisp tasting, yellow coloured fruit which is fully ripe by mid July. Supplied as bare rooted plants they can easily be planted on arrival in rows at around 1.5m apart.

Gooseberries can be planted in fertile, moisture retentive soil in a sunny, yet sheltered location.
