The fruits are medium in size, approximately 1/ 2 inch in diameter, an acceptable size for markets. Deep black have good firmness with small seeds with a creamy textured flesh.

The fruits are easy to harvest because they are borne on the terminal ends of the stems. Stems are erect and self – supporting during the 2 week fruiting season which occurs in early July in Ohio. Hardiness Zones 5 – 7.
