Hinnomaki Red Gooseberry (Ribes uva-crispa 'Hinnomaki Red')
The Hinnomaki Red Gooseberry is a hardy Finnish variety known for its vivid red fruit and exceptional flavour. The small, round berries have a sweet-tart taste with a hint of raspberry, making them perfect for fresh eating, desserts, preserves, and winemaking. This cultivar is particularly valued for its high resistance to common gooseberry diseases, such as powdery mildew, and its ability to thrive in cooler climates. The plant has a compact, bushy habit, with arching branches that yield heavily, often starting in its second year.
