The Different Types of Gooseberries
There are two types of gooseberries, European gooseberries (Ribes uva-crispa) and American Gooseberries (Ribes hirtellum). European gooseberries have the advantage of being larger in size and are popular for being more flavorful. American gooseberries of the other side, are more heat tolerant and less susceptible of getting Powdery Mildew, a devastating but common fungal disease found in gooseberries and currants.
