The berries of this variety have a thin skin with little hairiness. Strong-growing and high-yielding. Large, egg-shaped fruits with a balanced sugar-acid ratio that are absolutely burst-resistant even when fully ripe. Medium-late variety.
Non hybrid
Frostproof
The location should be bright but sheltered. Between trees or shrubs is ideal. Gooseberries can get sunburnt in direct sunlight. The soil should be loose and humus-rich. Depending on use and variety, gooseberries are picked from the end of May to July or August. The fruits are formed on the annual side shoots of older shoots. Regular pruning is important to promote fruit formation. The first pruning is carried out after planting in the fall (October to November) or spring. Shorten the strongest ground shoots by about a third. Remove all but 6 of the remaining ground shoots. After the harvest, older side shoots are shortened. One-year-old side shoots must be left! They will bear fruit the following year. You will get the best harvest if several gooseberry varieties grow next to each other.
