Ribes uva-crispa 'var. reclinatum Pax'

Plant details

Gooseberries are the first soft fruits in many gardens, especially if the immature green berries are thinned in May for cooking. Like redcurrants, plants develop a permanent system of fruiting sideshoots, and may be trained as fans, espaliers, cordons and standards, as well as bushes. 'Pax' is a full-flavoured, red-fruited variety and is almost completely thornless. The fruits are large and sweet, formed on quite vigorous, open bushes. It has excellent mildew resistance.
