Current Condition - Conditions may be different where you are, but it is currently FALL in Eastern Kentucky.   The tree you receive has been grown outside, not in a greenhouse, and may have normal fall characteristics such as missing leaves, brown spots, yellow/orange/brown leaves, or no leaves.  

Hinnomaki gooseberries are medium-sized bushes that are planted for both fruit and as ornamentals.  The fruit is red when ripe.  The berries hang on stems below the branches and thorns.  They are self-pollinating, and have pretty dark green leaves.  Fruit are excellent for eating fresh, for desserts, and for preserves.

Details:
•berries are approximately ½” in size
•height – up to 4’
•fruit ripens over several weeks

This not a new seedling!  This is a small tree, almost 1 year old, with an established root system and a strong woody stem.  You will receive one bare root tree packed in moist paper towels and secured in a plastic bag (see photo).  The plant in the photo is not the exact plant you will receive, but it will be similar in size.  Plant out or in a container immediately upon receipt and water as necessary.  There is no guarantee of the successful growth of any tree, but proper care will ensure survival. 

These trees are grown outside, not inside a greenhouse.  The may have slight insect or weather damage to the leaves, but all trees are healthy and already acclimated to outside conditions. 

I will combine shipping on trees.  Please feel free to contact me if you would like to combine multiple tree types into one order or if you would like to discuss shipping costs for multiple trees.  I will ship trees on Mondays and Tuesdays of every week, so your tree will be shipped the Monday or Tuesday following your purchase.  This is to try to reduce shipping times as much as possible and to avoid the tree being left in a warehouse over the weekend.  If you are unhappy with your tree upon arrival, please e-mail me a photo of the damaged tree so that we can discuss a possible remedy.

Certain states restrict entry of some tree species.  If you live in a state that does not allow entry of this species, please do not order it.  No shipping to Alaska or Hawaii.
