Narrative
The name Somo (abbreviation for South Missouri) was given it because its point of origin is here. The berry is an attractive black, average in size, firmness and appearance. Its quality is very good when eaten fresh or after freezing. It is nearly round, clings well to a small torus, but releases readily when ripe. The drupelets are nearly round and medium large. They do not crumble in handling. The fruit is early to ripen, ahead of Cumberland and Kansas. The berries reduce in size somewhat as the season advances, due partly to the high production and a long harvest season.Somo's claim to distinction is its vigorous habit of growth. No other black at the Station has equaled its growth, hardiness, production, and resistance to disease. Although a small amount of anthracnose has been found, it has been no problem for twelve years. The plants grow tall, stand up well, but root readily at the tips. Introduced 1956.
