Gooseberry red
Ribes sp.
1.25 m       1.25 m      Hardiness zone 3   

The gooseberry red (ribes sp.) is a thorny variety with red fruits, available at a low price. The ribes family kicks things off with its buds eager to burst into exciting green, expected in spring. Ribes need moisture to irrigate their fruits, refreshing in summer. Sometimes fearing heat that can harm fruit setting, they find a balance in a shaded environment, preferring rich and very fresh soil, minimally covered with biodegradable mulch that will limit evaporation and retain runoff rain.

For those whose stone fruit production or vegetable growing occupies every sunny plot, what luck to grow such delicious fruits in the shade, optimizing every square meter of land!

The gooseberry red is partially self-fertile.
