Jeanne Gooseberry (Ribes uva-crispa ‘Jeanne’) - Zone 3
We have Jeanne Gooseberry bushes available, a hardy cultivar known for its high yields and resistance to common gooseberry diseases. This compact shrub reaches 3-5 feet in height and produces dark red to purple berries that are medium to large in size. The berries ripen in mid to late summer, offering a sweet-tart flavor ideal for fresh eating, jams, pies, and preserves.
‘Jeanne’ is a relatively new gooseberry variety, developed for its improved disease resistance, especially to powdery mildew. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils, making it suitable for a range of garden conditions across Canada. The plant’s thorny branches provide excellent protection for wildlife and make it a useful addition to hedgerows or mixed borders.
