Hi! Just curious.. What does cape gooseberry tastes like? thanks...

Cape gooseberries are a fruit that are really hard to compare to any other,a mix of sweet and tart along with a flavor all of there own,well worth growing.

You'll just have to grow some pinakbet and found out yourself;)

sad to say we don't have gooseberries here. can it thrive in the tropics? ;)

I dont know if they do,but hopefully someone here can answer that,given that they arent an actual true gooseberry ([I]Ribes grossularia)[/I],i cant see why they wouldn't grow in the tropics.
If i had some seed i could send you some but even though i grow them every year i dont save seed, instead i pot up small volunteer plants that grow as weeds in the Autumn,winter them over in my tunnel/hot house till spring, then plant out after the last frost

I see. We have wild berries here its called "Bignay" but they only grow in higher altitudes. not sure Is somebody here was able to make it adapt in the metropolitan temperature.

I heard(or read) that gooseberries make good fruit pies. :D yummy
