The bush is characterised by moderately strong, extensive growth. This variety bears fruit very early – 10 days before Bluecrop. The fruits ripen successively and are covered with a strong, blue coating, are aromatic, tasty, very sweet, and large to medium in size. Fruit from late harvests can be tiny and only suitable for direct consumption. The main advantages of this variety are its high fertility, early fructification and high resistance to frost. Cultivators vary in their opinions with some complaining about its weak taste and uneven fructification and others praising the high prices it can fetch on account of being harvested early.
