GOOSEBERRY CARELESS

A reliable and still popular old variety Gooseberry Careless was originally introduced in the mid 1800’s. Produces heavy crops of excellent quality smooth skinned fruit which can be used for culinary or preserving use when green crisp and young or if left on the bush till mid July onwards will ripen further to produce a lovely opaque yellow sweet dessert style gooseberry. RHS Award of Merit

Our Gooseberry Careless are sold as bare root bushes and are lifted at the start of the bare root season in November, when the Gooseberry become dormant. For all year round planting why not choose from our selection of container grown Gooseberries. They do cost little bit more but are older, more established and are ready fruiting.

Available in economy and premium selection

Economy - rooted into its pot but a further season before moving up a pot size.
Premium - more growth in its pot. More mature than Economy
