A guide to choosing the right size

Blackmoor Nursery is one of very few Nurseries in the UK offering gardeners the opportunity to buy Gooseberry plants online. 

All orders are despatched in one delivery. If your order contains both bare root and container grown plants then we can only despatch when all plants are ready. 

Any Bare Root Items - Availability means Available for supply from Nov to May.

Any Container grown items - Availabity means Available for supply now. 

Bare Root = Field grown plants that have been freshly lifted and supplied with no soil around the roots. Only available during the dormant period November-April
3 Litre = Container grown and can be planted all year round. The size refers to the number of litres of compost that the container holds.
2 Year Bush = A two year old plant that has been pruned back in the first winter to form a bush shape. Generally plants will be 40-60cm in height with multiple side branches.

3-5 Branch = a two year old plant with 3-5 shoots. Ideal for growing as a bush shape or training into a cordon or Fan shape.

Half Standard = The fruiting variety is grafted onto the stem at 70-80 cm above the ground level. Will require supporting with a stake.

Cropping in June to July. Fruit can be used for jam and pies.

The varieties that we grow replace a lot of the older varieties that suffered badly with American Gooseberry mildew.

The varieties we stock all have good resistance to mildew and the red variety Pax is virtually spineless.

Plant bushes 1.5 metres apart. An ideal fruit for the small garden.

Usually grown in the form of a small bush, they can be trained to any shape and are especially recommended for pot culture.

situation

Gooseberry bushes are easy to grow, produce a large amount of fruit for their size and will tolerate partial shade conditions. They are self fertile, so one bush can be grown on its own. Gooseberry bushes are also well able to withstand harsher conditions (both temperature and wind) than many other fruits. This makes them a good choice for cooler areas.

I can't remember ever being so ecstatic when opening a delivery from a nursery. The gooseberry standards are fantastic. Much further along than I expected for the price, and they're in flower with a few berries set already. What a wonderful head start!

I ordered from blackmoor and the quality of the gooseberry bush i recieved was incredible. It was established, lovely green leaves and packed great too. Many thanks.

It looks lovely and healthy and my daughter is going to be over the moon. Thank you very much and will definitely be recommending your company. Regards and stay safe Pauline

Wonderful crop of tasty firm berries on a vigorous bush. Vicious thorns however.

2 Oct 19 | Doug Littlejohns

This was my second order from Blackmoor. On both occasions I have been delighted and impressed not only by the quality of the plants but also by the obvious care with which they were packed. Henceforth Blackmoor will be my first port of call when shopping for fruit bearers

3 great gooseberry bushes. Normally I prefer to buy my plants from local places where I can chose what I get. But really I could not have chosen better myself. The plants arrived super quick, were very well packed and in excellent condition. No mean feat in the middle of a heatwave. Great communication and responsiveness and very fair pricing too. I will definitely be using Blackmoor again. Many thanks!

Arrived early AM 24 hours from order. Beautifully and carefully packed in substantial heavy duty cardboard box. Bush is very healthy looking and happily awaiting its new home in our garden. Communications from point of order to despatch were excellent and I can thoroughly recommend Blackmoor.

My third order in a month! Four fruit bushes & a Sorbus Joseph Rock and again all seem healthy. Can certainly recommend.

26 Feb 16 | Will

My wife bought me this one, now potted on the patio and seems to have overwintered well.

15 Feb 16 | Amanda

My first order from Blackmoor has been delivered, including a 2 yr old bare root Gooseberry Invicta. I am thrilled with it. Difficult to get out of the box because of the spikiness but well packaged and very healthy looking. Looking forward to my first crop.

3 Feb 16 | Derick Hannant

Just received my 2 Invicta bushes. Perfect condition & will be planted in my allotment tomorrow. Very pleased & will happily order from Blackmoor again. Many thanks, Derick.

I bought a half standard Invicta gooseberry a few years ago and I get 12-14 pounds of fruit each year - an excellent plant.
