Gooseberry ‘Pixwell’ (Live plants) Perennial Vine, Shrub

2 YR PLANT

Gooseberry 'Pixwell' 2 YR is a hardy and versatile perennial plant that produces oval-shaped, pale green fruit that turns rosy pink when mature. With high productivity and the potential for deep purple fruit, this self-fruitful plant adds vibrancy to any garden. It also boasts a rich purple fall foliage and delicate white spring flowers.

Planting Instructions: May be planted in any well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is about 3 inches below the soil surface. Setting the lower branches below the soil level encourages the bush form to develop. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Frequent care and cultivation of your gooseberries will reward you with fruit year after year. A complete fertilizer should be applied once growth begins in the spring, and ample moisture provided throughout the growing season. Prune after harvesting. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist (approximately once a week or more for drier conditions).

Gooseberries are rich in nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, and Calcium, to name a few. For example, a single gooseberry contains more than 500 mg of Vitamin C than an orange, highly rich in Vitamin C.
