Hinnomaki Yellow Gooseberry

Hinnomaki Yellow shares its Finnish origin and mid-20th-century national breeding background with its sister variety Hinnomaki Red, also documented in this database, developed as part of the same effort to produce disease-resistant fruit suited to Finland's cold, short-season climate. It carries the same genuinely strong mildew resistance associated with that breeding line. Growers who have compared the two siblings directly generally describe Hinnomaki Yellow as the sweeter of the pair, with good, heavy production, though at least one grower comparison specifically notes its branches can be less sturdy than some other varieties.
