Cape Gooseberry (Melbourne) I found a friend had a plant, from which I took two small cuttings. I just popped them in the ground and kept them moist. This was in March15. I needed to protect the young plants from marauding birds though. The cuttings were nipped off at ground level by a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. Not a problem though, I just replanted the remaining cutting out of cocky's reach. Now it is 3 feet tall has flowers on it and I am looking forward with much anticipation to enjoying the wonderful little fruit parcels. I have grown them before, but sadly found you need to propagate a new plant about every 2/3 years, as they are not long lived. This time I am not going to be deprived of this wonderful little fruit!

Hi Rachel. I live in Kalgoorlie WA and found Cape Gooseberry seedlings at the local Bunnings store ($4.95) when I was picking up finger limes that I had ordered. I am sure that they or most of the larger nurseries can get them in for you. As a kid we had several plants always growing as mum loved making jam with them. I am looking forward to enjoying them again. Good luck

I live in the foothills of the Nandewar ranges, Narrabri NSW. I have been given a Gooseberry plant and wondered what is the best aspect for planting in to my garden?

My gooseberries have large amounts of leaf curl. Can you suggest what to do?

Gooseberry grew from seed no probs. When it grew quite big, was invaded by pests. Small bug laying so many larvae under leave.Also leaf curl, and plant dies back. We try not to spray but killed hundreds of larvae and small bugs.Could you advise what to do and the amount of water and sun> Many thanks Ruth Morgan
