Golden Berry Pineapple - Cape Gooseberry

A dwarf Golden Berry with branching stems and a bushy habit. Best grown under glass, producing succulent pineapple flavored fruits enclosed by a papery husk, looking like Chinese lanterns. Huge crop of fruits throughout late summer/fall. Can also be grown outdoors in a sunny, sheltered site.

Sowing:

Sow February to March on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at a constant temperature of around 65-70F until germination, which takes up to 3 weeks

Growing:

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 3 inch pots and grow on steadily at 60F. Plant out when 8 inches high, allowing 2 plants per growbag or one plant per 12 inches pot. Can also be planted outdoors once risk of frost has passed.

Aftercare:

Feed regularly with a high potash tomato food once first flowers are setting. Stake plants if necessary.
