Purple Gooseberry is an unidentified cultivar growing on our farm. The medium sized berries ripen purple in late summer.
The parent shrub grows beneath an old spruce in full shade. Rooted plants have also grown quickly in dry, neglected sites in full sun, suggesting useful drought and shade tolerance.
