Parentage: Rhapsody x Holiday
Cropping season: Crops between 8 and 14 days later than Elsanta.
Productivity: Similar yields to Elsanta but with a higher proportion of marketable fruit.
Growth Habit: Good vigour. Has a prolific capacity to runner and therefore tends to produce smaller plants than Elsanta. It is therefore not ideally suited to "frigo-plant" production. Will tolerate more extreme soil conditions due to its vigorous nature and disease resistance capabilities.
Fruit Quality: Has an attractive regular shape, firmness, good shelf-life.
Disease and Pest Resistance: Field resistance to Red Core.
