buying blackberry, boysenberry redcurrant and gooseberries

[buying blackberry, boysenberry redcurrant and gooseberries]

true!

i'm not sure if drpotatoe, will understand your and all others gentle notches, towards saying, it's impossible to grow currents and gooseberries, in most parts of Australia, because they need a cold climat.

berry fruits will grow, but always make sure you get the "low chill" varieties.

to obtain currents and gooseberry, one has to ask the nurseries, located at the cold parts of Australia, I think I have seen them growing in mel.

Actually wild goosberries pop up around here, though the lantern variety which i now understand isnt true goosberry at all. if you say that the proper goosberries wont grow here i am a bit concerned. goosberries are at the top of the list of berries i wanna grow, next to blackberries and cape gooseberries which seem to grow very well here.

Bogfrog, ide very much appreciate some rhubarb and blackberry seeds. ill PM you about it.

oh ok. i just noticed new leaf and berry buds appearing. does this mean the currently wilted ones should all be trimmed away then, are all they all just going to die off?

ok i have a problem, my dad didnt care for the plant taking nutrients from the sapling, so i was forced to pull it out. the bulk of its root system is intact, however ever since i pullsed it out, (not literally torn, dug out a bit, the ground was like soft clay so it came out easily), and potted it, its been wilting as if its not getting any water, which makes no sense as ive been watering it allot and repotted it in a mixture of compost and the same soil from which it grew on, is this normal behaviour for plants when repotting them when the roots are torn and exposed? the same thing happened to allot of my other plants which i grew in egg cartons as i was too cheap for seed trays. anyway, in the process of removal, my watermelons had some root damage, and went through the same thing, for a while.

im not sure what it is, and i dont like it, anyone know how i can fix this? for the gooseberry bush i mean.

oh i forgot to mention im living in queensland.
also i was unaware there was a plant ID subforum, sorry, if i had seen it i would have posted in it.

I needed to know if this was a proper edible fruit producing plant, its growing right at the base of a small tree we have planted in the yard, it almost looks like they connect underground. the roots intertwine, and if its useless my dad wants to cut it, but now that i know its a proper gooseberry plant, it can stay and i can start harvesting additional seeds much earlier. i plan on planting ALLOT of gooseberry plants, all from a single motherplant , actually i plan on doing that will many other berry bushes, anyway, thankyou very much everyone

[Is this a gooseberry bush?]

hi,

i recently bought some gooseberry seeds, as ive been wanting for a long time to grow gooseberries, like what my late great grandparents grew in their garden back in germany.
Imediately after planting some in seed trays on my window sill, as i was mowing the lawn i discovered a wild gooseberry-like plant growing next to one of the small trees we had planted around the backyard.

normally i would rip it out and toss it aside, however i now recognise the fruit, it is exactly the same as a gooseberyy, with the cape, fruit shape and fruit-flesh-seeding similar to that of a pashionfruit.

I want to confirm this plant is in fact a gooseberry bush, and not a poisnonous lookalike.

attached is an image i took.
