The variety is a good runner producer in the summer and winter, whether rooted or not. The variety is further characterized by cymose branching with fruit occurring in clusters. The fruit is medium conic to flat wedgy and ranges internally from solid to hollow. Fruit size, durability and firmness are about the same as 'Tioga' and the variety is suitable for commercial or home garden use.
