Invicta, Gooseberry

This vigorous, easily grown, high yielding variety is justifiably the most widely planted gooseberry variety.

The berries are large, oval, smooth skinned and ripen to a pale yellow colour. Flavour when both green and fully ripe is excellent. The growth is very vigorous, spreading and thorny; the variety rapidly reaches its full potential as a bush and can be successfully grown on wires.

Invicta has a yield potential double that of Careless and has some resistance to American gooseberry mildew but is vulnerable to Phytophtoria infection.
