Fruit from Ventana is lighter than Camarosa and Gaviota, with substantially brighter red coloration. Subjectively, Ventana has very good flavor. The fruit will be outstanding for both fresh market and processing. Fruit is red in color and firm. Cartuno produces fruit uniformly throughout the fruiting season.
Fruit is medium to large.
Not available for sale outside California. Diamante produces very high quality fruit with a very low cull rate and is probably the best flavored day-neutral item released by the UC program to date. Diamante produces consistently and is easy to harvest. It is tolerant to spider mites and mildew, but not Antyhracnose crown rot. It tends to runner somewhat during fruiting and the internal fruit color is probably too light for the processing industry.
