The Gooseberry Hinnonmaki Red is an extremely hardy mid-season variety that has been specifically bred in Finland to increase its hardiness & disease resistance. This gooseberry is easy to grow & reliably produces a good crop of deliciously sweet large red gooseberries that are ready to pick for cooking from late May. If you would like to eat them fresh & enjoy their sweet aromatic taste then leave the picking until mid-July. It has a compact growing habit so is great if you are limited on space or would like to grow more than one.
