Customer Tips & Reviews Ceylon Hill Gooseberry
Ceylon Hill Gooseberry
Live on Atherton Tablelands. Have stuck plant under shade tree. Plant growing sideways to get light. Tough grower. No water given after wet season. Still produces quite a few fruit. They are yummy but I leave them for wildlife.
Strathpine, Qld, Australia
Really looking forward to trying the fruit from this one. Growing well and I've already taken cuttings that have struck so I can have MORE lol. Watched the Daleys video on these and the flowers are very attractive.The asparagus are growing up all aroun...

I think it died due to lack of water in our drought conditions, may try it again.

Need to fertilize. It's been a while since it last produced fruit.

Have just planted 2 of these these facing north east and they look healthy and strong. They got overrun by killer tomatoes and I think it blocked the sun and nutrients.

Great little fruiting shrub. Highly recommended as tough, attractive, long lived and low maintenance. Protect fruit from birds. Water well and feed potash late Winter if an abundance of flowers and fruit are wanted.
