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

Large, oval, deep-red berries with firm skin and good keeping quality.

Vigorous, disease-tolerant vines; by far the most widely planted cultivar in North America.

Very high yield, mid-late ripening; backbone of commercial cranberry production.

USDA hybrid from the 1940s breeding program; still the reference cultivar today.
