Gooseberry 'Black Velvet' (Ribes uva-crispa 'Black Velvet') is a unique and delicious fruit-bearing shrub known for its dark and richly flavored berries. This compact cultivar typically grows to a height of 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 meters) and has a spread of about 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 meters). Its relatively small size and dense growth habit make it well-suited for smaller gardens, containers, and even as an edible hedge.
Gooseberry 'Black Velvet' is well-suited for zones 3 to 8. The plant's dark, almost black berries are sweet and flavorful, making them a popular choice for fresh consumption, jams, jellies, and other culinary delights. Additionally, its soft green foliage adds an ornamental touch to the landscape, turning reddish-purple in the fall for added seasonal interest. With its low maintenance requirements and delicious rewards, Gooseberry 'Black Velvet' is a wonderful option for gardeners looking to cultivate their own homegrown treats while enhancing the visual appeal of their outdoor spaces.
