About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

A vigorous red variety valued for its large, firm berries and its good double resistance to mildew and currant leaf spot. The dark red fruits ripen mid to late and hold on the bush remarkably well without going soft quickly. The bush grows strongly and upright and crops very heavily; a support or a light prune keeps it in shape. As a self fertile variety it does not need a second bush.

Fully ripe it is robustly sweet and tart with a rich aroma and a firm, crisp skin. It makes a deeply coloured jelly and also works well fresh in a fruit salad.
