1 Live Plant Captivator Red Gooseberry Well Rooted Starter Plant 3 Inch Tall

Captivator Red Gooseberry is a deciduous fruiting shrub prized for its heavy crops of large, deep red berries. This well-rooted starter plant arrives ready to establish in the garden, growing into a productive, attractive bush that adds both beauty and harvest value to the landscape.

The berries are sweet-tart and excellent for fresh eating, pies, jams, and preserves. Plants are self-fertile and bear fruit on two-year-old wood, so expect harvests to build over the first few seasons. With its upright, slightly arching habit, it works well in fruit gardens, mixed borders, or as a small hedge.
