Day-neutral cultivar released by University of California in 2006.
Plants are large, vigor, open and erect, quite resistant to Verticillium Wilt and Phytophtra crown rot, and relatively resistant to Anthraconose crown rot, tolerant to two spotted spider mites when treated properly.
The plant produces greater individual plant yield than most of other day –neutral cultivars.
Fruits are firm, long, conical and very symmetrical. The color externally and internally is dark red, and has excellent flavor.
The fruits are outstanding for both fresh market and processing.
