Gooseberry Black Velvet
Actually a Gooseberry-Worcesterberry hybrid, mid-season Gooseberry Black Velvet has the huge advantage over mainstream gooseberries of being completely immune to American Gooseberry Mildew. The berries are small to medium-sized, deep purplish-red, with a very good, sweet-tart flavour somewhat reminiscent of blueberries. Can be eaten fresh when fully ripe. The bush is vigorous and upright in habit, and particularly suitable for training as a cordon. Heavy cropper, and easy to grow. Thin the fruit for larger berries. Disease-resistant and very hardy – suitable for very cold areas.
