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.

Wisconsin, United States
Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

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.
