Flowering
Fruit harvest

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Medium-sized, oval, blue-violet fruit with juicy, mild flesh; stone separates moderately well.

Medium-strong, healthy growth; self-fertile. Blooms early and is thus somewhat late-frost sensitive.

Early-onset, regular yields; commercially interesting as an early cultivar.

Fruits tend to crack in rain when fully ripe; harvest promptly. Susceptible to Sharka.
