About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An early German variety that is well armed against two afflictions at once: American gooseberry mildew and leaf drop disease. The medium-sized, dark red berries ripen as early as the end of June, which puts them among the earliest on the bush. Growth is moderately vigorous and upright, which makes picking pleasant. Being self-fertile, it bears reliably even without a pollination partner.
Balanced sweet and tart with a strong gooseberry aroma. Good for preserving even when half ripe, and a pleasant treat when fully ripe.
