Black Velvet

Black Velvet gooseberry bush produces very dark fruits with an unusual flavour, including exotic notes. It is an original variety for a traditional fruit.

At full maturity, Black Velvet reaches a good sugar level. The berries can be tasted before mid-July, but the best harvest is in the second half of July, when the fruit is quite soft and deeply coloured.

This variety has very good overall disease resistance. Its thorns also help provide some protection against browsing animals.

Black Velvet is self-fertile, so a single plant is enough to produce fruit.

We supply Black Velvet gooseberry as a bush, with several branches starting from the base of the plant.
