Midseason processing cranberry with high yield potential. Origin: Rutgers University, NJAES, Chatsworth, NJ, by N. Vorsa and J. Johnson-Cicalese. NJS98-23 (Crimson Queen®) × No. 35; crossed 1999; selected 2007; introd. 2019. Tree: stolons and uprights moderately coarse; plant vigor average in mineral soils, stolon growth vigorous in peat soils; flowers moderately early, before Stevens by a few days; typically has similar fruit rot (disease complex of >15 pathogens) to Haines. Suited to most areas where cranberry is cultivated, but particularly adapted to peat organic soils and moderate oceanic climate. Fruit: large, 2.1-2.4 g in NJ; shape variable, widely ovate to slightly pyriform; skin shiny with slight waxy bloom around calyx; stem end mildly elongated, calyx end slightly flattened; fruit very firm; anthocyanins moderate, similar but slightly less homogeneous than in Haines, and 50% greater than Stevens in September.
