Gooseberry ‘Hinnonmaki Yellow’ has been bred for flavour and hardiness.
Cultivated in Finland as a dessert variety, it’s green-yellow berries have a superb taste with a hint of apricot, sweet enough to be eaten fresh from the plant.
As a large spreading variety, plant ‘Hinnonmaki Yellow’ as a screen in the garden or to divide garden areas. As the plant matures, some support may be necessary.
Gooseberries can be planted between November and March during the dormant season.
Place your gooseberry plant into the ground to the depth of the soil marked on the stem. Leave sufficient space as per variety around the plant to ensure healthy growth.
Firm in well and water around the base thoroughly. Gooseberries may be grown using the bush or cordon method, as per preference. Apply a general fertiliser, such as Growmore, in the Spring to aide growth.
Although support may not be necessary during the growing season, winter protection is advised to protect against strong winds and frost.
Harvest your gooseberries during the Summer. Pick unripe fruit in early Summer for cooking and pick ripe fruit in late Summer for eating fresh.
