One of the best new introductions in recent years, this fabulous new Red Gooseberry is certainly making an impact in gardens across the UK with its crops of sweet, juicy berries. The big crops of red fruit are sweet enough to eat straight off the bush in summer, saving you from having to cook them, and if that was not enough, it is virtually thorn-free making picking much easier! With great Mildew tolerance and medium vigour, 'Xenia' is easy to care for making it ideal for new gardeners of those lacking confidence to have a go at growing your own. Bred too for cold tolerance, it is very hardy and tough and performs well throughout the UK in the garden. Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot ready for immediate planting.
Gooseberry 'Xenia' is a red skinned variety of gooseberry, that looks great in pies, and crumbles. It has great mildew resistance and has almost thorn free stems, making harvesting the fruit safe and fast.
