This variety grows very strongly. Older bushes have an extensive habit. The fruit is medium sized, light blue, aromatic, and clustered in loose bunches. Ideal for preserves. Ripens at roughly the same time as Bluecrop. One of the main advantages of the variety is its suitability for mechanical harvesting. It is resistant to frost and disease and is not vulnerable to antracnosis [fruit rot]. Requires intensive pruning and watering.
