Tough, spiny gooseberry plants are easy to grow, producing generous crops of large berries for eating (if you like that tart, summery flavor), jams, and pies. The jostaberry (a gooseberry crossed with a blackcurrant) has the thornless nature of a currant with larger, sweeter fruits.

Bareroot berries | January to March

Nearly all of our berries are sold in bareroot from January to March. We find this is the best way to get your berries started since they're dormant until the weather warms up in spring.

Potted berries | all year round

Some berries are notoriously difficult to get started from bareroot (ahem, raspberries), as many gardeners will have experienced. Because of this, we also stock a large selection of potted berries in spring and throughout the rest of the year. The best selection, and the best time to plant in order to have ripe summer berries the same year, is in spring (April to June). Outside of these times our selection can be limited.
