Fruit: black; flavor very fine but not as sweet as Young; size extremely large, 1.25 inches or more long; rather soft; aroma distinct; covered with a dusty bloom; bears through August in some areas, ripens 1 week before Young. Bush: trailing (dewberry type); more vigorous that Young; high yields. In California, Boysen and Nectar are different varieties. -- Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties.Fruit black, flavor very fine, very large. Midseason, vigorous, yields to 4Tons/Acre in Oregon.
