Ribes uva-crispa ‘Little Ben’ is a compact gooseberry bush, ideal for small gardens and container growing. This dense, bushy fruit shrub develops slightly thorny branches bearing an abundance of light green fruits when ripe.

Its discreet spring flowering attracts pollinators and encourages a generous summer harvest despite its small size. Its bright green foliage adds texture and volume to edible landscapes. Ribes uva-crispa ‘Little Ben’ combines hardiness, productivity, and limited footprint, offering a practical and decorative solution for northern gardens.
