Height of Gooseberries? (Haley Johnson)
Hi, I consistently see most of your gooseberry descriptions as 90/100 cm high. Is this an average , because this is quite incorrect for some cultivars and can be confusing for novice gardeners? I grow gooseberry Captivator and it is 2 metres high by 2metres wide, given that it took over 6 years to reach this size with little pruning. Thankyou.
