If you can find any of these varieties, they’re now perfectly legal to grow in New York State, thanks to a law passed in 2003. Ribes—the genus that gooseberries and their close cousins the currant hail from—were banned in the early 20th-century by federal law since they can serve as vectors for the fungal disease white pine blister rust.
