Small plant 4-5 ft., well suited for growing in containers, very early maturing (45 days), steady production of small 2-4 oz. nearly round red fruit, very similar to Kimberly but in direct comparison I prefer the gentle sweet flavor of this variety.

B.C GI K

68 days. Good reliable producer of sweet 45gr fruit, approximately 1.5-2" in diameter. Shorter plant, about 3.5ft. Better producer than Kimberley for me. Most production was in the early season, then it slowed down as temperatures warmed up (30C days). 3.5lbs/plant.
