Ribes uva-crispa 'Hinnonmäki gelb' CAC II

This is a deciduous, spiny shrub that typically grows to 0.8 - 1.2 meters (2.6-4 ft) in both height and spread, forming an upright to slightly arching, bushy habit.

Produces a good yield of medium-sized, yellow berries that are firm, only slightly hairy, and resistant to cracking. They have a pleasant sweet-aromatic flavor. Fruits ripen from mid-July onwards.

Small, greenish-white flowers appear in April-May, attracting bees.

Best in full sun to partial shade.

Prefers moist, well-drained, nutrient-rich, humus-rich garden soil.

Very good frost hardiness (USDA Zone 4, down to -28°C/-30°C).

Excellent for fresh eating, jams, jellies, baking, and suitable for home gardens, including container cultivation.

Low maintenance due to high disease resistance. Prune in late winter to encourage fruit production. Keep soil consistently moist, especially during fruiting.

Medium water requirement. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during fruit development and dry periods. Avoid waterlogging.

Best planted in autumn (September to November) or early spring (March to April) when dormant. Containerized plants can be planted throughout the growing season outside of frost.
