Gooseberry, Tixia™

(var. Rafzvicta) Jumbo bright red fruits on nearly thornless canes. Developed in Switzerland where gooseberries are favorites, Tixia™ allows for painless picking as its one year canes have few thorns, and those that remain are relatively soft. Huge, elongated, smooth red fruits with succulent 'sweet-tart' flavor are delicious fresh and also make mouth-watering pies, jams and jellies. Fruit ripens in July. High yielding plants are mildew resistant.
