- Very sweet red cherry with pointed tip, varies in size from dime to quarter from plant to plant, slight blue shoulders that fades when ripe, some antho. blue in vines, indet. vines, sweetest "blue" I have found, mid season, surprisingly good keeper.

- The foliage of this plant has an amazing blue tint (including the stems!) while the small cherry fruits are mainly red. There is little to zero blue coloring on the fruits that we grew.
