Easy to grow, Gooseberry 'Invicta' has a vigorous spreading habit, producing an abundance of sweet pale green fruit. The berries of the Invicta will appear between late May and early June, but for optimum sweetness we recommend harvesting later in the season. Gooseberries are great for eating fresh or when used within culinary dishes such as pies, crumbles or jams. A traditional British favourite since the 19th century, we recommend planting in sunny areas with well-drained soil where they will thrive to a mature height of one metre. A previous winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, this fruity variety has a strong resistance to disease and is a prolific cropper. We do suggest placing netting over the berries when they begin to fruit to discourage birds. 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. Prepare the soil in advance and put the roots of the shrub in holes large enough so that they are not too cramped. Ensure soil is filled in firmly arund the roots, and water regularly until the shrub has become established.
They are very robust plants that will require very little care/maintenance. You can prune back each winter to ensure that the shrubs do not become too overgrown and thus ensure easy picking for next year. They are also suitable for growing in pots using a loam based John Innes Compost.
