How to grow Gooseberry 'Farmers Glory' in NZ

Gooseberry 'Farmers Glory' thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare the planting site by mixing in compost or organic matter, then water deeply after planting. Space plants 1.2–1.5 metres apart to ensure good airflow and reduce the risk of disease. Apply mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and keep weeds away. Water regularly during dry periods, and feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring to encourage strong growth and abundant crops of sweet, red berries.
