A member of the ‘Giggles’ Series, Giggles Red produces large, juicy red berries with a delightful berry flavour. This variety yields an abundant harvest throughout the summer, ensuring plenty of fruit. It is highly hardy, easy to grow, and resistant to diseases. Plant gooseberry bushes in an open sunny position on any well drained soil. Prior to planting, incorporate a generous amount of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Remove any shoots or dormant buds from the base of the plant as these will produce unwanted suckers later on. Goosberries should be planted at a distance of 1.5m (5′) apart at their original depth which is indicated by a mark left on the stem by the nursery soil.
