My gooseberry bush has had all its leaves eaten away, leaving just the
central vein. What is likely to have done it? No other kind of bush has suffered. David -- David Rance writing from Le Mesnil Villement, Calvados, France |

David Gooseberry saw fly Yes. You have about three days or a week at most between them hatching an eating every last leaf off the plant. By now you should have been able to harvest the crop so the critters are a bit late... Mine annoyingly succumb to American gooseberry mildew these days which is a pity because they are a good size old sweet dessert purple variety. Regards, Martin Brown |
