Narrative

It is a late-season, productive type. The berries are very large, mdium-dark red, do not color evenly, are somewhat dull and have protruding seeds. They are soft, with fairly good flavor but fair to poor as a frozen pack. The plants are vigorous, runner well, and are susceptible to Verticillium wilt. Vesper has limited value as a very late, very large-fruited, fresh market cultivar which is too soft for distant shipping.Dale et al., 1992Fruit: very large, with first pickings averaging up to 1.5 inches in diameter, skin medium tough, glossy, very attractive, achenes yellow and prominent, tast and texture equal to Catskill, with quality surpassing that of Jerseybell, which it resembles, ripens very late, 3-5 days after Jerseybelle or about June 15 in New Brunswick, requires more frequent harvesting than some other varieties because it ripens rapidly, not satisfactory for freezing.Plant: vigorous, recommended for central New Jersey and northward, like most varieties, not resistant to disease, yields higher than average.Brooks and Olmo, 1972.Vesper was bred by J.N. Moore while at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (Rutgers University), and was introduced in 1962 because of its very large size, very attractive appearance, its very high yield, and its very late season in the Northeast. Limitations: it is very susceptible to leaf diseases and to Verticillium wilt. It is not of high flavor, and is too soft south of New Jersey.G. Darrow. 1966. The Strawberry. p. 158.
