About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

A robust Finnish variety used to cold winters that shrugs off American gooseberry mildew well. The medium sized, dark red berries turn into real snacking fruit when fully ripe and taste pleasantly sweet. The bush grows moderately vigorously and compactly, so it also suits smaller gardens. Being self fertile, it needs no second bush for pollination.

Sweet and aromatic when fully ripe, with a fine, balanced acidity. A real pleasure fresh from the bush, but it also makes a dark, richly coloured jelly.
