• Flavor: Sweet-tart with a balanced, aromatic, and slightly lemony-tart character.
• Harvest Timing: Ripens late in the season (mid-July to August depending on your climate zone, typically about a week ahead of the Elliott variety).

Growing Requirements

• USDA Hardiness Zones: Zones 4 through 8 (tolerates cold down to -30°F).

• Soil & pH: Needs well-drained, acidic soil with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5.

• Pollination: Partially self-fertile or self-fruitful, though planting a companion Northern Highbush variety (such as Chandler, Elliott, Aurora, or Draper) increases berry size and total yield.
