[nafex] Gooseberry Thorns

Greetings All -

Can anyone tell me if gooseberries do any significant shedding of thorns or
thorn-laden branches? I had them once and as I recall, when they're
reasonably well kept, they really don't drop thorns or wood.

Reason I'm asking is I'm tearing out landscape grass around the pool at our
new home, and I'm trying to figure out if gooseberries are a reasonable
replacement in the more out-of-the way spots. Currants will be going in to
the holes where it's more likely people might brush up against the plants ;)

-Pete
