Large, firm, sweet berries. Medium to large with productive yields. Wild blueberry flavor characteristics.

Bred to be chest-high for easier picking than earlier half-high varieties. Released for zones with extreme winter cold where standard highbush struggle. Valued for large, sweet berries, high yield, and exceptional cold hardiness. Requires cross-pollination for best production.
