About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You will find ‚Bona’ a modern, very large-fruited variety with impressively long clusters, on which the berries sit close together. This makes the harvest pleasantly quick. It delivers high yields and impresses with good resistance to powdery mildew and rust. It is self-fertile, vigorous in growth, and suitable for fresh consumption as well as processing.
You will find the large berries pleasantly sweet-tart with full fruit aroma, distinctly milder than old varieties. The large berries invite you to snack directly from the bush.
