Hi,i wanted to ask you how many years the plant lives? how many gram per plant is produced? What about distances between plants? What about cold winter under -10 celcious . I can grow it at 2 different palces . At Ionanina city we have a lot of rains at the spirng low temperanture at the winter but not to much hot at the summer. Opposite at the town of Karditsa we have less rains , mpre hot days at the summer and not to much at the winter. Also Karditsa is nearer to the see level comparing to Ioannina at 490 m high. Sorry for my bad Enghlish. I hope you can helpnig and if you can to suggest me a good suplier of seeds

Yassou Nikos. You treat the Cape Gooseberry the same as Tomato. Same conditions, same soil, same same. Hope this helps.
