Adequate but not exceptional best describes my experience with this variety. Green Arrow, Karina, Bolero, Survivor, Caseload etc outperormed it. Of course there are varieties that performed worse. |

This is one of my 'must grow' varieties. This isn't the earliest, nor is it the most productive I've grown. But the flavor is great (very sweet) and it is very reliable, even in unusually warm and/or dry years. This variety also freezes well. |
