Ribes uva-crispa 'Pixwell'
Ribes uva-crispa ‘Pixwell’, commonly known as the ‘Pixwell’ gooseberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with an upright, slightly spreading habit, recognized for its hardiness and reliable production in northern climates. This variety is distinguished by its fruits that mature from green to reddish-pink, becoming sweeter when fully ripe. Its discreet, greenish spring blossoms attract pollinators and precede an abundant summer harvest. The arching branches make picking easier as the fruits hang down when ripe. Its dense green foliage provides good structure for the vegetable garden or a fruit hedge. Ribes uva-crispa ‘Pixwell’ prefers full sun to partial shade and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Ideal for jams, jellies, and pies, it offers excellent yields for family gardens.
