A cross between Oregon Champion and \u003cem\u003eRibes missouriense\u003c\/em\u003e, the variety was eventually released in 1932. Pixwell was named for it's less thorny nature - as in smaller and less thorns than most gooseberries, especially as it grows older - which makes it easier to pick the berries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Grow It: \u003c\/strong\u003eAside from living up to its name, Pixwell produces green berries that turn a lovely shade of pink to deep plummy-purple-red once they are fully ripe - though you can use the green berries for tangy chutneys and the pink stage is nice fresh too. The medium berries have sweet flesh and tart skin, and are great for fresh eating, pies, and preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ken Roth - Hazel Grove Farm","offers":[{"title":"1 year plant","offer_id":39483328725061,"sku":"C-CG-PX-1","price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/7552\/1839\/files\/20250802_090243.jpg?v=1765148592"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/7552\/1839\/collections\/gooseberry-ga9005d275_1920.jpg?v=1754669739","url":"https:\/\/silvercreeknursery.ca\/collections\/gooseberries.oembed","provider":"Silver Creek Nursery Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
