This variety came to me from America via Ukraine, but it is actually of Dutch breeding.
The bush is indeterminate, but not excessively so; it grew up to 1.8 m (6 ft) in the greenhouse. It proved to be a real hero this year—it set fruit without skipping or dropping blossoms in both cold and heat. The trusses are complex, and the fruits are not large, weighing 30-70 g (1-2.5 oz), bright red.
