Hinnomaki Red is a Finnish gooseberry with sweet tart red fruit on compact, thorny plants. In southern Manitoba, berries ripen in mid July and can be picked over a period as they colour.

Seed grown gooseberries will vary from the parent cultivar. Expect compact, thorny bushes, with red fruit traits possible among the seedlings.

How to stratify seed

In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.

Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
