i don't see this for sale anywhere, but whenever our office has an event, the dessert trays are always decorated with these gooseberries. i "harvest" them off the trays at the end of the event because they'd be the only ones left on the trays.
i love their ever so delicate papery calyx and the berries are so sweet. if you don't remove the berry from the calyx, the berry will last for about three to four weeks in room temperature. i know that for a fact because i'd have them on my desk for days.
@danig - really? that is interesting. i never had this until a few years ago either. in fact i've never heard of gooseberries until i came to north america. thank you, DG.
@steeler - i've seen a few plants/bush of this and yes, they are a tad scraggly. thank you, howard.
