Originally bred in Finland, Hinnonmaki Red is widely regarded as one of the finest red gooseberry varieties available, prized for its reliably heavy crops of dark red, sweet-tasting berries with a rich, aromatic flavour. The fruit is excellent for eating fresh straight from the bush, as well as for cooking, jamming and preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis variety is self-pollinating, meaning only one plant is needed to produce fruit, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens, allotments and containers. Hinnonmaki Red is also noted for its strong natural resistance to American Gooseberry Mildew, making it a robust and low-maintenance addition to any fruit garden. As a fully hardy deciduous shrub, it will thrive in a wide range of UK growing conditions and establish quickly once planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-pollinating – no additional plants required for fruiting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy cropping variety producing sweet, dark red berries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eGood resistance to American Gooseberry Mildew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eFully hardy – suitable for all UK gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a garden-ready plant in a 2Ltr root ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eIdeal for borders, fruit gardens, allotments and large containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting and Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade for the best fruit production. Gooseberries prefer moist but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly during dry spells, particularly while the fruit is developing. Prune in winter to maintain an open, goblet-shaped framework, which encourages good air circulation and healthy fruiting. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support vigorous growth and abundant crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultural Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ribes uva-crispa 'Hinnonmaki Red'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gooseberry, Red Gooseberry, Hinnonmäki Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous Fruiting Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100–150 cm x 100–150 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bushy, Upright, Thorny Deciduous Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruit Gardens, Allotments, Borders, Large Containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring (April – May)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruiting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Summer (July – August)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun to Partial Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist but Well-Drained, Humus-Rich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully Hardy (H6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-Fertile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttracts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bees and Pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Green, Lobed Deciduous Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e This variety is Hinnonmaki Red, producing distinctively dark red fruit with a sweeter flavour compared to green gooseberry varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plants For All Seasons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57700049846646,"sku":"COL-2LTR-GOO-BER-HINX1","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/5990\/3625\/files\/file_cf4683db-d673-4280-98e7-d86c73cf8974.png?v=1776441704","url":"https:\/\/www.plantsforallseasons.co.uk\/products\/col-2ltr-goo-ber-hinx1","provider":"Plants For All Seasons","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
