Known for its large, dark berries, it offers a rich, sweet-tart flavor that is perfect for fresh eating, jams, jellies, and baked goods. This hardy, easy-to-grow shrub is perfect for gardeners seeking a high-yielding, disease-resistant fruit with a distinct taste.

The plants are vigorous and produce an abundance of fruit, making them a great option for gardeners looking for a productive fruiting shrub.

Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
