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

Medium-sized, aromatic berries on long strigs, easy to pick.

Moderately vigorous, spreading; late-flowering and thus frost-tolerant.

Regular, good yield, stable over many years.

Slightly mildew-prone; a long-established standard variety in commercial growing.
