Pax Gooseberry bushes

£0.00

The bushes are compact and almost entirely free of spines. The growth is very mildew resistant and the luscious deep red fruits have a superb dessert flavour.

Red Jacket Gooseberry bush

£10.95

A very old English heirloom Gooseberry; we are delighted to have limited stocks available. The English ‘Red Jacket’ cultivar stood alone as the winner, primarily due to its superior hardiness (per conversation with Gene Howard, superintendent of the Cheyenne Station from 1964 to 1974). Mr. Howard told me cuttings had been obtained directly from England and that it eventually became his personal favorite due to its hardiness, productivity, flavor andrelative freedom from powdery mildew. He held the English ‘Red Jacket’ in such high regard that he transplanted it, and none other, to his personal residence before the collection was destroyed.…
