Ribes uva-crispa x 'Captivator'

Prohibited to DE, ME, NC, NH & WV, and by permit only to MA, RI, and NJ

It's hard not to be "captivated" by the large, teardrop-shaped fruit that is pink and sweet when ripe. Foliage turns vivid yellow in the fall. Mildew and rust-resistant and very hardy. A cross of European and American species that is nearly thornless and easy to pick and grow. Bred in Ottawa, Canada in 1935.

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. USDA Zones 3-8.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

  • I understand gooseberry like full sun, but do they tolerate afternoon hot sun exposure? I had in that spot red currants, and had to move them, because of to much sun their leaves got sunburn. I'm wondering if it would be the same for gooseberries. I'm in zone 5, Chicago area. Thank you

    Full sun should be fine in your climate. Gooseberries are no where near as fragile as currants, but their fruits can get overheated in intense summer heat (100 degrees and over) especially if they do not get enough extra water.
