Hinnomaki Yellow Gooseberry (Ribes uva-crispa 'Hinnomaki Yellow')

Hinnomaki Yellow is a Finnish bred gooseberry cultivar with sweet, aromatic yellow fruit. The thin skinned berries are juicy, with a balance of sweetness and mild tartness, and suit fresh eating, preserves, and baking.

The compact shrub has a spreading habit and bears abundant fruit on arching branches, typically starting in its second or third year. Hinnomaki Yellow is described as highly disease resistant, particularly to powdery mildew, and is suited to cooler climates. The bright yellow fruit and rich green foliage also give it ornamental value.
