Insights
Bred for both flavour and form, this variety hails from the USA and is now a favourite among UK growers. Notable for its gently arching habit and fine ornamental leaves, it crops reliably from late summer into early autumn. The fruit is delicious eaten fresh, frozen, or cooked in crumbles, jams, and compotes.
