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

Hinnomaki Yellow is a Finnish-bred gooseberry cultivar prized for its sweet, aromatic flavor and attractive yellow fruit. The berries have a thin skin and are juicy with a unique balance of sweetness and mild tartness, making them ideal for fresh eating, preserves, and baking. Unlike some other gooseberry varieties, Hinnomaki Yellow is known for its high disease resistance, particularly to powdery mildew, and is well-suited to cooler climates. This compact shrub has a spreading habit and produces an abundance of fruit on arching branches, typically starting in its second or third year. It also offers ornamental value with its bright yellow fruit and rich green foliage.
