Gooseberry - Fruit


The fruit of the gooseberry is small and round and is connected to the plant with a thin stem.  At the calyx (bottom) end of the fruit is the dried, senescent flower. Gooseberries are green in the immature stage, ripening to a deep purple or yellow. The skin may have a striped appearance.
