An excellent very hardy and vigorous mid-season variety. Specifically bred in Finland for hardiness and disease resistance, Hinnonmaki Green is a consistently prolific cropper of very large, well flavoured fruit. The fruit is olive green in colour and has an excellent sweet, aromatic taste – ideal for eating fresh off the bush when fully ripe. Particulary resistant to powdery mildew.

Pruning not required after planting but in subsequent years prune the new growth on the main branches back by 50% and any side shoots back to 5cm (2″). Mulch yearly with well rotted compost or manure to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water in dry periods. Feed with growmore type fertiliser in the spring. Spray for mildew if necessary.
