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

Large, bright-red berries with a finely tart, refreshing flavour on long trusses.

Vigorous, upright growth; flowers early and is therefore slightly late-frost sensitive.

Reliably high yields; one of the most widely grown early varieties in Europe.
