Product Details

Perfect for eating fresh, using in jams, or adding to desserts. Of course, it's not strawberry sweet. The tree is compact and attractive, making it ideal for gardens and large pots.

Minimum pot size by year 5: 50 cm wide

Notable for its sweet-tart fruits, rare among star gooseberries, and excellent for fresh eating and cooking.



The Sweet Star Gooseberry thrives in warm, frost-free areas and prefers well-drained soils with plenty of organic matter. Regular watering during fruit set improves yield, but the tree is surprisingly drought-tolerant once established. It benefits from a light prune after harvest to maintain shape and encourage new growth.


If you are looking for something rare, productive, and beautiful, the Sweet Star Gooseberry is a fantastic choice. Limited stock available now – grow a sweet-tart treasure in your own backyard.
