Variety description

10 August 2026

The bushes have high vigor, an upright growth habit with a moderately narrow crown, and form numerous fruiting canes. The chilling requirement is 650–700 hours at temperatures below 7°C, and late flowering often allows the variety to avoid spring frosts.

The berries are medium to large in size, firm, with a small picking scar and good flavor. The variety is partially self-fertile; for increased yields, cross-pollination with other rabbiteye varieties such as Powderblue, Brightwell, Tifblue, or Vernon is recommended.
