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

Gooseberries, traditional plants highly prized in Europe as an important part of a well-rounded garden, have been sadly neglected in America. New varieties produce sweeter and larger fruit as well as being more disease resistant than earlier favorites. Modern breeding has crossed traditional European uva-crispa varieties with more disease-resistant American hirtellum plants, creating more durable, pine blister rust-resistant varieties. Raintree offers outstanding Canadian, American, and European cultivars not usually available in the U.S.
