Handsome blue-green foliage with bright red-orange fall color, on an upright, spreading form. Recommended winter chill: 500 hours. Plant with another midseason variety to improve yield. Semi-evergreen in mild climates.

Provide rich, acidic, well-drained soil; tolerates heavier soil than other varieties. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system. In extremely hot, arid summer areas, shelter from harsh, reflected afternoon sun. Before new growth begins, prune off twiggy growth, leaving only main stems to prevent overbearing.
History
Developed by Mississippi State University in partnership with the USDA Ag Research Service.
Lore
Increase berry production with groupings of other mid-season varieties for cross-pollination.
