The red berries of the Ribus Uva-crispa, also known as the gooseberry, are packed with vitamins A, C and E and have a sweet-and-sour flavour. The berries are mainly used in smoothies, juices and jams. This berry bush produces many berries that can be harvested in July and August. When the plant is in the sun, the berries ripen well and will taste sweeter.

Care
The gooseberry is an easy plant to care for. The shrub can be planted throughout the year in a spot with sun or partial shade. The berries will ripen better when the plant is in the sun. Make sure there is no risk of frost when you plant the plant. The type of soil does not really matter, but it is important that the soil is sufficiently moist and not too calcareous.

Size
The plant has a height of 25-40 cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is delivered in a nursery pot with a diameter of 9 cm.
