About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The yellow green sister of the red Hinnonmäki and just as robust against American gooseberry mildew. The honey yellow berries turn almost translucent when fully ripe and are among the most aromatic dessert gooseberries there are. The bush stays moderately vigorous and compact, crops reliably and, being self fertile, yields well on its own. If you like it sweet, leave the berries on the bush to ripen as long as possible.
Very sweet and aromatic when fully ripe, with a fine, almost nutmeg like note. Best eaten fresh off the bush, once the berries are soft and golden yellow.
