Variety traits

Self-fertility of gooseberry

Ribes uva-crispa L.

The ability of gooseberry to form a yield when pollinated by its own pollen, measured as the percentage of fruit set from isolated flowers.

In the reference 41 varieties crop Gooseberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

Gooseberry self-fertility is quantified as the share of fruit set from the number of pollinated flowers under isolation. Varieties are classified by the degree of self-fertility: highly self-fertile ones show more than 51–60% fruit set, self-fertile — 41–50%, and low self-fertility varieties — 25–40%.

Most regionalized gooseberry varieties show rates in the range of 30–50% and higher; however, there are forms with low self-fertility, such as 'Severny Kapitan' and 'Chernomor', which have 4–10% fruit set. Although high self-fertility ensures yield stability in single-variety plantations, cross-pollination for this crop remains an effective factor capable of increasing yields by 2–3 times and enhancing berry size.
