| Prickly Gooseberry flowers in spring. |
Prickly Gooseberry dwells in our mixed hardwood forests -a floodplain of the Minnesota River, a gully to the St Croix, along the Mississippi or under the trees within the hills and dales of the Big Woods. At Shelterwood, it receives patchy sun in lowlands and uplands under maples or oaks. You might consider this a species for a restoration, or an interesting specimen for your native woodland garden.
