Glenndale Gooseberry

Ribes missouriense x grossularia 'Glenndale'

Prohibited to DE, ME, NC, NJ, NH, WV. MA by permit only.

Bred by the USDA in 1932 for growers at the extreme Southern limit of gooseberry culture. An American X European, it is mildew resistant and tolerates heat and humidity better than other cultivars. A vigorous upright bush, to 6', produces quantities of small tasty dark red berries. USDA Zones 4-9.

Gooseberries, highly prized in Europe as an important part of a well-rounded garden, have been sadly neglected in America, perhaps because people remember gooseberries as tart and mouth puckering - but sweet varieties are wonderful for fresh eating! Gooseberries generally ripen in early summer, just after strawberries. We offer well-rooted, one-year bushes.
