Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The truth is I hate most gooseberries: they have horrible thorns and get mildew and leafspot so even the delicious ones are a pain. Well, we may have turned a corner. Jeanne does have tiny thorns but the fruit is large, red, thin skinned, and delicious and the bush is vigorous and pest free. YES!
