Black Velvet gooseberry is a small, productive shrub that bears heavy crops of sweet dark red/purple( not really black) berries. Skin of this gooseberry is a bit "velvety" but the taste is like most other gooseberries...sweet with a slight tartness and very fruity flavour. Great fresh or processed into jams, etc.
