Wiki Draft

Como is a green gooseberry introduced by the Minnesota State Fruit Farm. A 1937 northern nursery catalog lists it as a hardy small fruit for northern planting and calls it the best gooseberry for the Northwest. [S1]

The catalog says Como was named and introduced by the Minnesota State Fruit Farm. The available source does not give its parentage, release year, or breeder. [S1]

The fruit is medium-sized, roundish, and green when ripe. It holds well on the bush and resists scalding better than most varieties. The catalog recommends it for preserves and jam and describes it as promising for commercial berry production. [S1]

The plant is vigorous, very productive, and fairly free of thorns. The State Farm also describes its foliage as exceptionally healthy. [S1]

No direct zone rating is given. Its hardiness is supported by its place in a 1937 catalog of hardy fruits for northern planting and by the catalog's recommendation for the Northwest. [S1]

Como appears in the source as a gooseberry on a mixed currant and gooseberry catalog page. The page also includes Carrie gooseberry and Red Lake currant, but it does not state parentage or a close relationship between them. [S1]
