Purple-red fruit with yellow-bleeding-to-red sweet firm flesh is excellent fresh eating. Grower Jesse Stevens says it has “skin less sour than many other hybrids, but still a good amount of zing.” Seems plenty hardy once established with good pest and disease resistance.
Blooms early and pairs well for pollination with Lavina and Purple Heart. Ripens mid-August in central Maine. Highmoor Farm, UMaine’s Ag Experiment Station, gives it an overall rating of “excellent!”
Z4/5. Maine Grown. (3–6' bare-root trees)
