That eliminates the problem of winter killing. In Montana, remove the blossoms for the first few weeks after planting to establish the plants, then harvest the fruit until frost. You can extend the fruiting season well into the fall with a row covering or cold frame. You can also grow these cultivars as fruiting house plants in a sunny location during the winter. They can fruit on unrooted runners and make attractive hanging plants.
Plants are resistant to powdery mildew and tolerant of verticillium wilt.
This cultivar produces medium-sized fruits heavily in spring. The plants are resistant to verticillum wilt and powdery mildew and do best on heavier soil. This one is high-yielding under drip irrigation and responds favorably to the use of white plastic to increase soil temperature. The fruit is medium-sized and has very good dessert and freezing quality. Like 'Tristar,' this cultivar also does well in heavy soils.
