For the harvest to be productive in summer, the gooseberry needs sufficient nutrients. We show what you should pay attention to when fertilizing gooseberries.<\/p>\n

The gooseberry ( Ribes uva-crispa<\/em> ) belongs to the gooseberry family ( Grossulariaceae<\/em> ) and is closely related to the red currant ( Ribes rubrum<\/em> ). With berry bushes, one often has the impression that they produce a lot of fruit every year on their own. For your gooseberry to perform like this, however, it must constantly form new shoots and needs sufficient nutrients from the soil both for growth and for the formation of the fruit.<\/p>\n

On nutrient-rich soil, your gooseberry may get by for a few years without fertilization, but at some point, the natural supplies will be exhausted and the shoot growth, yield, and fruit quality will continue to decline. So that it doesn’t get that far in the first place, we will tell you how you can optimally support your gooseberries in their development with needs-based fertilization.<\/p>\n

Depending on the stage of growth, your gooseberry has different nutrient requirements over the course of the year. In this article, we will explain when, how, and with what best to fertilize your gooseberries.<\/p>\n
