Notes on recent variety introductions are based on information from the breeders and one or two years of local observations. Produces medium yields of excellent flavoured, medium sized berries. Berries are moderately soft and tend to be dark red. Veestar has been the standard early season variety of the more southerly regions but is less favoured further north. Makes a jam with excellent flavour.
Berries are light to medium red and medium firm.
Annapolis has become the standard early season variety. The harvest season is shorter than for Veestar. Suited to PYO or limited shipping. Green tip may be observed, particularly on king berries. Honeoye produces ample pollen and has some tolerance to tarnished plant bugs and thereby consistently develops well formed fruit.
