Donna,
The only variety on your list that I have grown is
Orus 8 (a jostaberry), which did really poorly. The small fruit mildewed
severely and had a moldy flavor, and it died after 3 years. The jostaberry
'Josta' is doing well for me now, but took 4 years before it began producing.
Glenndale is one of the few gooseberry varieties that is claimed
to hold up to the heat and humidity in TN. I have not grown it, but I do
have a seedling of it that produced a couple of fruits this year-too early to
say if it will be anything worth keeping. I also have Captivator,
which has really suffered during the past two extremely wet summers. It drops
its fruit prematurely in hot weather.
