Growing Raspberries and Gooseberries in Large Pots

Question

I have purchased five 5 ft raspberry canes to grow in a large pot, as I have a small garden. Is it possible to do the same with gooseberries by keeping them in a large pot as you would if growing peas or beans in a wigwam shape? And would I prune the side shoots off each year to keep the shape.

Answer 1

Yes, you can grow gooseberries in containers as well, just make sure to provide the same growing requirements and adequate drainage.
