[Sca-cooks] Gooseberries?

[Daniel & Elizabeth Phelps]

Took me a minute or two to find the reference but  "...the gooseberry is a 
potential host for white pine blister rust, which can cause serious damage 
to white pines; thus, gooseberry cultivation is illegal in some areas of the 
U.S."

 Last I saw them cultivated was as a child in Michigan.
