Early and heavy producer.
Erect canes simplify the harvesting of these firm, deep black berries. The fruit has excellent storage life, allowing for extended enjoyment. The plants boast disease resistance and cold hardiness. First-year canes start to ripen in July, and second-year canes produce their heaviest yields in June, with both continuing to bear fruit until the first frost. This everbearing primocane is an early season variety.
May be covered by USPP #22449 or other patents. APF-45 cultivar.
