Hardy and resilient variety with excellent fruit in abundance. American and European cross with great plant features. Vigorous canes, nearly thorn-free and disease resistant. The dessert quality red fruit is tear-drop shaped with a sweet, mild taste. Pick when ripe to avoid fruit drop. Good resistance to powdery mildew.
