Cape Gooseberry (Cutting) ^10/10

Another embarrassment of riches. It fruits prolifically here and has out grown its first planting location. It has now been divided up and replanted against the fence where it can sprawl to its hearts content. Looking forward to the next seasons harvest, should be more than enough fruit to preserve some..

Growing: In the Ground

First Fruited: 2 Years from purchase in pot

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Water Given in: Spring

When I Fertilise: Never

Early days still, establishing itself. Good growth and stood up well to the blistering heat of the 2008 summer, while it got a little scorched it recovered very quickly

Almost embarrassing in abundance. Extremely successful, with leaf growth to over 2.1 metres, individual tubers the size of a fist. They were given plenty of water in the sandy soil here

They grew well enough, didn't fill the pond though and are a bit on the small side - 20mm Still okay though.
