Accession: 121
Seed Source: Plant Gene Resources Canada, accession no. 17650.
Comments:
2011 Didn't seem to like the cold, wet weather of a La Nina year, but it did take off and start producing a lot more once weather really started to warm up. Really nice flavour on this one, good balance between rich/acidic taste. It's totally normal for this variety to have darker red/brownish/greenish shouldering. I think this variety will do better in a more normal year.
