Gooseberry Pixwell
|
The Pixwell Gooseberry, Ribes 'Pixwell', is considered the best variety on the market today. This heavy bearer produces pale green fruit that turns pink when it's fully ripe in August. This gooseberry usually bears fruit the year after planting and is great for pies and jelly. Grows in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade, but prefers full sun. Plant in a location protected from strong winds and frost pockets. Pixwell is a dense, rounded, glossy-leafed shrub suitable for hedge planting in open or shady areas. Very few thorns are on the plant that produces fruit on 2-3 year old wood. Needs regular summer and winter prunings to maximize fruit production. Easier to prune than some other gooseberries because it is almost thornless.
