I have a wonderful 17 year old gooseberry bush that I think was
mislabelled - I thought I'd bought Whinhams Industry, but that's red -
these are green/yellow. It me a 25 lb crop or more, just from
the one bush. That's far more goosegogs than I need!


I wonder if it's one of the dessert gooseberries, rather than one of the
cooking ones. Have you tried eating one raw?


Yes. They do get to a stage where they are quite nice. I belive it is a
dessert - I have had other goosegogs in the garden that were never
anywhere near as nice, and never performed as well.
