you can grow most things in pots just depends on the type of plant and size of pot realy . im sure you can grow goosberries in a large pot but there will be someone like bamboo that will tell you more about this .

I have tried gooseberry in pots for a while but I got mildew. I did the goblet-shaped pruning to get good air through but I think my problem was getting the watering right.
Much better in open ground when I planted them out. Keep up with the open pruning though, helps stop the mildew and less scratches when you`re picking.

i think basicly all plants are better in the ground given the chance kere but never say never .

Would always grow in the ground as feeding and watering is less of a problem. It would seem that these garlic-based sprays are excellent as they deter gooseberry sawfly and the sulphur content in garlic prevents gooseberry mildew.

The variety Greenfinch is resistant to mildew - wonderful discovery!"
