Good strong plant
Surprised by the healthy crop in this first year of planting. Fruits medium size and delicious. Unfortunately the blackbirds thought so, too, and stripped the lot! Mea culpa ... will think about netting earlier next year!
Very quick delivery thank you. Just as expected.
Very good value for money , gooseberry plant for 1:99 euro . Plant was nearly 1and a half foot tall when it arrived and had plenty of fruit starting to come out , glad i bought 3 now 10/10
From the day I planted them they never looked back. Only after 3 weeks planted they are starting to flower.
Lovely healthy fruit bush. Will report back when it fruits.
arrived in good condition next day.
