Gooseberry bush growth
« on: June 29, 2008, 17:11 »
I've got a selection of fruits in the front garden, all of them seem to be growing like mad, except the gooseberry.
Its was already quite big when I planted it, and the bits that are there have leafed up, but there seems to be very little new growth.
Everything else in full sun seems to have more new growth than the gooseberry does total now.

Do they just not grow very quickly, or is it sickly or missing something?

Just seems odd, even the Loganberry that was barely sprouting a few weeks ago has ballooned.
We use chemicals in this garden, just as god intended

Loganberries are in the leguae of brambles. I would not worry, much slower growth, especially for a young one. Make sure, roots don't suffer from drought in the first year.

Where did you get it from ?  

Was it in a pot or transplanted  from the ground ?  

What time of the year did you plant it ?

Did you prune it ?

Tinternet, treesonline
Twas in a pot
Late February
And No.

All the current wood seems to have leafed up fine, it just doesnt seem to want to grow anything new, even my cherry trees are doing more by way of growing.
