Description

Selected for exceptional winter hardiness and prolific shiny red fruit. Plants reach 5-6' in height developing a nicely rounded habit; creamy white flowers are effective in May and are followed by a profuse display of bright red fruit which is strong even without another pollinator in the area. Discovered in a batch of seedlings as the only survivor of a -30 F cold snap; plants are substantially hardier than 'Erie'.
