The Ribes uva-crispa ‘Red George’ is a hardy gooseberry bush prized for its attractive coloration and balanced flavor. This dense, bushy fruit shrub develops thorny branches bearing an abundance of dark red berries when ripe. Medium-sized, these fruits are firm, juicy, and delightfully tart, perfect for jams, jellies, pies, and fresh consumption with a touch of sugar. Its discreet spring flowering attracts pollinators and ensures a generous summer harvest. Its bright green foliage adds texture and volume to the vegetable garden or fruit hedge. Ribes uva-crispa ‘Red George’ adapts well to rich, well-drained soils, offering reliable and productive cultivation in cold climates.
