After trying to grow gooseberries on a bit of a north-facing slope, I have given up. We chopped off the thorny canes and will now dig out and compost or discard the roots/crowns.

I just do not have enough FULL SUN for these. In MA a bit south of NH. I need the space ASAP, but if you'd like any rootstock or established roots, are in good health and can dig up and leave most of my garden soil, and take all responsibility, I have some established (roots, trimmed of this year's canes) gooseberries. NO NAME or variety.

Respond privately with your name and phone number and email. I will probably phone you. I want to use the space for raspberries, so this offer is only for the next couple of days. Thanks. BTW, my neighbor up the road, with FULL SUN can get fruit, as did the fellow in LUNENBURG, MA from whom I got the plants. I just have too much shade and so no fruit. The foliage turns a gold & mahogany hue in fall. Birds nest in the VERY THORNY branches. I give up.
