About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An open pollinated variety for enthusiasts that lives up to its name: the small red fruits hang in richly branched, grape like trusses and taste exceptionally sweet. Because it is open pollinated, you can save seed year after year and keep the variety going in your own garden. It grows vigorously and crops very heavily, but for that it needs consistent side shooting and a sturdy support. Outdoors it is prone to late blight like many old varieties, so a roof over its head helps.
Honey sweet with just enough acidity to keep it from being one dimensional. A classic for snacking straight off the plant that reliably delights children.
