They're a cross between a gooseberry and a blackcurrant. The fruit is larger than a blackcurrant but not as big as a gooseberry. Its spineless and doesn't seem to be troubled by sawfly.
Don't try Worcesterberry as they're a similar cross but have even worse thorns than gooseberries. I grow them as a hedge.
Yup, lovely big tasteless fruit, but the deer loved the taste of the bark and killed it!
It was really productive so useful for bulking out blackcurrant.
My first gooseberry died after an unhappy 4 or 5 years where it produced no more than a couple of berries and then MrPP ran it over withthe ride-on! I planted a new one last year that's covered in fruit this year.
