The tree is small to medium in size, reaching 8 to 18 m in height, with a crooked trunk and spreading branches. The branchlets are glabrous or finely pubescent, 10–20 cm long, usually deciduous; the leaves are simple, subsessile and closely set along branchlets, light green, resembling pinnate leaves. The flowers are greenish-yellow. The fruit are nearly spherical, light greenish yellow, quite smooth and hard on appearance, with six vertical stripes or furrows.Ripening in autumn, the berries are harvested by hand after climbing to upper branches bearing the fruits. The taste of Indian gooseberry is sour, bitter and astringent, and it is quite fibrous. In India, it is common to eat gooseberries steeped in salt water and turmeric to make the sour fruits palatable. It is also used to straighten hair.65,000 seeds/kgSoak the Indian gooseberry seeds for five minutes in a bowl of hot water, which can improve the chance of germination. Cover the bowl with a dish towel to help hold in the heat. Drain the seeds and sow them immediately.Fill 4-inch pots with a mixture of half potting soil and half compost. Pour water onto the soil mixture until it feels moderately moist throughout. Sow one Indian gooseberry seed in each pot at a depth of roughly 1/4 inch.Place the pots indoors near a large window or outdoors inside an unventilated, lightly shaded cold frame. Warm the pots to 80 degrees Fahrenheit with a propagation mat if temperatures drop below 70 F.Check the soil mixture twice daily to ensure it never fully dries out. Water to a 2-inch depth if the soil feels barely moist just beneath the surface. Avoid letting the soil dry out, but also try to avoid making it soggy.Watch for the first seedlings in roughly three weeks. Remove the propagation mat once the seeds germinate. Grow the seedlings under bright, sheltered conditions until after the last spring frost.Grow the Indian gooseberry seedlings under dappled shade for their first summer with one to two inches of water each week. Slowly acclimate them to stronger sunlight in late summer. Transplant them into a permanent bed or planter in autumn.
