Ceylon Hill Gooseberry pollination

    4 responses

Do I need two of these plants to get fruit, or will one suffice?
I just noticed that Daleys website says I need two. (See https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/fruit%20pages/ceylonhill.htm )
and I planted just one about 3 years ago. (I presume it's a seedling. I bought it for $10 at a garden show). It's flowering for the first time at the moment, and of course I've been hanging out to try the fruit.
I can't find anywhere else on the web saying I need two plants.
Thanks.

One is enough, had one fruit by itself before other one was in flower.

Thanks ivepeters, now I feel more hopeful of getting some fruit in a few months.
Maybe the yield is better or more reliable with two plants? Anybody know?
Cheers,
Dave

I'm a Noah, I mostly have two of everything. Mainly just in case I kill one.
Would keep it in a sunny & open position, to minimize susceptibility to myrtle rust, give it a fungicide spray often.
