Narrative
Originated in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands by H. van der Smit. Released in 1969. The leading commercial variety in Germany. Plants have medium vigor with a moderate spreading tendency. Bush grows to 12' tall. Growers find Koralle to be the most demanding for soil and site but the most productive, yielding full branch laden crops of brilliant red fruit even at a young age. Berry suitability is very good. Koralle is our current recommendation as the mainstay for commercial production.Steve Rutkowski Michigan collection. First released in Holland as an ornamental ground cover, then later cultivated for its fruit. Now a popular Dutch cultivar making up almost all of European production. Upright, strongly branched, vigorous. Uprights 12 inches. Produces light red to dark red somewhat tart, highly flavored fruit at a young age. Fruit may remain on the vines for several weeks without deteriorating.
