Gooseberry 'Invicta'
Gooseberry 'Invicta' is a superb culinary gooseberry, renowned for its strong disease resistance, particularly to American Gooseberry Mildew, and its very heavy yields. It produces large, pale green, somewhat hairy fruits with a tart flavour, perfect for pies, crumbles, jams, and sauces. This robust, vigorous bush has an upright, spreading habit and is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a reliable and productive variety. 'Invicta' is self-fertile and extremely hardy, thriving across the UK. Inconspicuous flowers appear in April, with fruit ripening from June to July. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained, fertile soil.
