Description

Heavy production of large, sweet-tart, circular shaped gooseberries on a large upright bush! Fruit ripens to pink-purple when ripe in June-July. ‘Invicta’ gooseberry has good flavor and solid, heavy production of berries. Extremely cold hardy to zone 3.  This newer release has performed extremely well on our farm in KY, annually producing copious yields despite late freezes and frosts even during bloom.  Great for making jams.  Low production of thorns on this gooseberry.

Gooseberries do best in areas without extremely hot summers. If planting in a very hot summer climate, plant where it can get partial shade, such as a western or eastern side of the house or near a small tree that provides shade. CANNOT SHIP TO MA, ME.
