Package was received, crushed on one end, but fortunately the tree was undamaged. Have since planted the tree and are anxiously awaiting it s first fruits, if not next year then the next. Thank you. I'm extatic, just in love with my trees and I'm hoping for some fruits next spring! Looks good, well packed and shipped fast. Hoping for the best. Make sure to replant ASAP when received. We have ordered trees before and got sticks or twigs! This was a good size tree that will be ready to bear fruit in just a year or two.

The fruits are almost black and sweet. Read the full review of Penny here. A superior taste to Stella. Read the full review of Summer Sun here. Taste and texture make this an outstanding variety. With the exception of mildew, disease resistance is good overall.
