'Hinnomaki Red' Gooseberry Plants
'Hinnomaki Red' Gooseberry Plants
Hinnomaki Red is a popular variety of gooseberry known for its sweet-tart flavor and attractive deep red color. The berries are medium-sized with a firm skin and juicy flesh, often used for fresh eating, jams, desserts, or preserves. This variety is particularly productive and cold-hardy, making it suitable for cooler climates.
The plant is relatively compact and resistant to diseases like powdery mildew, thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Its combination of high yield and flavourful fruit makes it a favourite among gardeners.
