We were given our gooseberry bush recently and it needed a spruce up so today we are sharing our Spring prune of "Leveller" - a sweet dessert gooseberry 🙂
Excellent information. As a new gardener, pruning can be intimidating. Like seeing the whole process and reasoning behind it!! I hope you both are having a great weekend Cheers from Victoria, Canada Colleen (and Jason)
Hi Colleen and Jason - we are so glad to be of help and love watching your progress too in the garden: we had a lovely weekend thank you catching up with old friends so I am not at my sharpest this morning with a bit of a sore head! All the best to you both and have a good week Melanie 🌸
I have recently added gooseberry Invicta to my plot and was wondering how to prune it. Very helpful video thanks, I now feel confident to tackle it. Would it be better not to prune for the first year? It has quite a good open shape.
Hello Velveteen Ashes - thank you for watching our video and we are very glad to be of help: yes do prune it in the first year as it will help it to establish Have a good rest of your weekend and all the best Melanie 🌸
Oh great - "Leveller" is a sweet dessert gooseberry: I'm not too keen on gooseberries myself - too many memories of '70's school food! Barney is doing very well thank you - dare I say it fully house trained? I've gone and said it now! Have a great weekend Melanie 🌸
@@JohnHorseyHorticulture I'll look for that variety. I have memories of it myself. As a child at my grandmother's we played hide and seek. I'd hide under her Gooseberry bushes and eat them while I hid. They were red and tangy. I thought his name was Barney but was afraid I'd be wrong. Wish you the best that can be a challenge for sure. Stay well💚
