Narrative

W. P. Tumer discovered this cultivar in 1873 and made the first planting at Sharon, Massachusetts. The large berries (58-68 cup count) ripen late in the season, and although they will not color in storage, they will store well. The medium red berry is round to oval in shape and is covered with a heavy waxy bloom. The vines are coarse and the uprights tall with large, light green leaves. Paradise Meadow's production is rated as fair to good.
