Easy to grow gooseberries, eat straight from the bush. ‘Hinnonmaki’ gooseberry plants have been specifically bred for exceptional hardiness, vigour and disease and mildew resistance - making for a reliable, satisfying crop year after year. In March and April, pretty flowers are produced, then the fruits develop in abundance from early summer, ripening from July onwards when they are ready to be picked. This duo is comprised of both ‘Green’ and ‘Red’ varieties – which ripen and shine like jewels from July onwards.

Reaching a maximum height and spread of around 1.5m, they prefer to be grown in full sun or light shade, on neutral, free-draining, fertile soil.
