The pruning of gooseberries must be divided into two main groups. There is, first of all, the pruning of the varieties that have been grown entirely for dessert, and here it is a question of producing a fairly open-shaped bush where the laterals are cut hack to within 2 inches of their base and the leaders, or one-year-old end growths, back by about half to an upward pointing bud. As the bush gets older some of the spurs have to be thinned out so as to automatically reduce the number of fruit buds. The aim should be to produce compact bushes with the branches well off the ground.
