I've never had any fruit off my gooseberry - the Sawfly eat all the leaves while I'm not looking. I've given up growing it ... I much prefer blackcurrants anyway.

Yes, the best advice is the bird food one... but you may have to net the fruit when it comes against the same little birdies that ate your caterpillars.
