‘Hinnonmäki Röd' Gooseberry on stem - Fruit shrub - Bare rooted - Hardy plant

Fresh berries straight from the stem!

Fresh red berries. On a lovely stem. That is what you get with the 'Hinnonmäki Grön’ gooseberry. Gooseberries are often difficult to find. If you grow them yourself, you’ll never have to worry about that. 'Hinnonmäki Grön’ gooseberries grow on a stem. That means you won’t have to bend so far over to pick them. The 'Hinnonmäki Grön' is a self-pollinating plant that practically overflows with fruit. You can plant this fruit shrub in the garden. It can also be planted in a pot on a (rooftop) patio or balcony. But in pots, these fruit bushes are more susceptible to frost. When the temperature drops, put bubble wrap around the pots.We deliver the gooseberry as bare-root stock: just the bare branch and roots. The branch is freshly removed from the soil. This gives it additional strength, enabling it to branch out faster than it would in a nursery pot. Plants grown from bare-root stock also adapt to their new environment more easily. They grow better and they're more economical.The fruit bush blossoms in the spring. Revealing green or purple flowers. A crop will be ready to harvest from summer onwards in the second year after planting. Please note: gooseberry branches have sharp thorns. Gooseberries thrive in well-drained garden soil. It's best to give the tree extra water during dry spells. Sufficient light is needed to ensure good growth. For this reason, the fruit bush should be planted in full or half sun.

Planting+

The gooseberry grows well in well-drained, fertile soil in full sun. Make sure that the root ball on your Ribes uva-crispa is well moistened prior to planting - soak it overnight in a bucket of lukewarm water. Dig a large hole and thoroughly loosen the soil. Plant your bush at the right depth - the roots should be around 10-15 cm below soil level. Fill the hole with more soil and heel well in. Water immediately and generously after planting.

Care+

The standard Gooseberry Hinnonmaki is easy-to-grow and produces an abundance of fruit. Water extra during dry periods although very wet soil is not well-tolerated, especially in the winter. Fertilise moderately in early spring. The fruits depend on the weather and the fruits ripen from late June onwards.

Gooseberries need to be pruned

The first year after planting prune all the branches back by 3/4 in February. In the 2nd year, prune 6-8 branches by 1/4. Every year onwards, regularly trim old branches by 1/3 and remove all old branches.

Extra+

Ribes uva-crispa is a strong bush with thorny branches. The delicious fruits are usually not available in the grocery store, so they are great for growing your own! The fruits of the gooseberry have a red skin which is not usually eaten, but you won't be able to resist its sweet, delicious flesh. It can be simply peeled and processed into jams and syrups. This plant is suitable for small gardens.
This beautiful gooseberry is a self-pollinator.
