Large heads and lots of side branches, medium beads. An excellent producer! Best I have ever grown. Burpee variety disappointed not available in 2018. Grew all summer. Would grow again if seeds available.

This variety performs reasonably well here. It is sort of middle of the road among the varieties that I have grown. It is early and forms tight but somewhat irregular heads. Good sideshoot production.
