About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The green mildew resistant standard variety par excellence, for when you do not want to worry about American gooseberry mildew. It grows very vigorously and broadly, but is heavily thorned, so harvesting takes a little care. The pale green berries ripen in high summer and crop heavily and reliably. As a self fertile variety a single bush already bears, and regular thinning keeps it healthy.
