To always get a large harvest of large gooseberries regardless of the weather, you need to follow certain rules.
How to properly grow gooseberries, says expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
First and foremost, plant large-fruited varieties. A small-fruited variety will not produce large berries, no matter what you do.
Secondly, do not overfeed the gooseberry. It is enough to apply nitrogen fertilizers twice a season.
And don’t overuse mulching, gooseberries don’t like overheated soil.
Third, do not neglect pruning. Gooseberries can grow very large.
