The new variety is particularly characterized by its small round leaves with many shallow serrations, long inflorescences which are easily visible above the canopy of the plant much of the season, very uniformly smooth shaped berries and its ability to remain in fruit production from mid to late April through November. The fruit is very attractive with acceptable flavor and juiciness as well as excellent firmness and holding quality.
