About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An old northern German landrace from the Vierlande, the traditional fruit and vegetable growing area south-east of Hamburg. It is self-fertile and reliably bears strongly red, tart berries on medium-length strigs. The robust bush grows vigorously and is well suited to harsh locations too. A piece of garden heritage valued above all for juice and jelly.

Strongly tart and savoury, a true classic for juice and jelly. On its own it is a little sharp, cooked and sweetened it unfolds its full aroma.
