A day-neutral, fresh-market cultivar whose outstanding characteristic is its production of highly attractive fruit throughout the fruiting season. Origin: in Knoxfield by B.J. Morrison, Inst. of Hort. Development, Victoria. 88-011-30 × Chandler; cross made in 1991; tested as 91-012-39; introd. in 1998. Plant Breeder’s Rights held. Tree: day-neutral; semi-spreading; medium dense; vigorous; leaves are dark green and moderately glossy; highly productive with very large early yield; will continue flowering during hot weather, although very hot weather may reduce fertility. Performs well from either summer or winter planting. Outstanding early productivity does not appear to benefit from additional chilling. Fruit: large; orange-red; very glossy; primaries are short wedge-shaped tending to conical on secondaries; broad band without achenes; flesh is light red throughout; similar to Selva in firmness; calyx is sharply reflexed and detaches easily.
