Deciduous shrubs, 1 to 1.5 meters high, palmately lobed leaves with five lobes. The plant has inconspicuous, yellow-green flowers. The berries (red, white or black) have a diameter of between 8 and 12 mm and hang in clusters of 3 to 10 berries. The length of the truss is 4 to 8 cm. An adult bush can yield 3 to 4 kilos of berries; harvest July, August and early September. Gooseberries are usually green and covered with fine hairs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”pest insect” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1532164328547{background-color: #585858 !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”” el_id=”entrytxt” el_class=”entrytxt”]<\/p>\n
