Description: Easy to grow, this abundant producer of sweet and luscious medium-sized fruit has performed exceptionally well in pots even during the first season. It is best to pick the fruit ripe, as it does not ripen after picking. When not devoured fresh, they are ideal in jams, wine and pies. If grown in pots, they are producers cycling in and out of flower and fruit when given warm temperatures and adequate light. They can be kept under 4' with moderate pruning. In the ground, they turn into a large bush. Also, they are disease and insect resistant. |
