Narrative
Origin near Beaverlodge, Alberta (55 degrees N), wild plant selected in 1958 by John A. Wallace. Introduced in 1965 by him, from his Beaverlodge Nursery. Discovered on the north property line of the research station while employeed there, but introduced it privately. Berries up to 16 mm diam., obovate to nearly spherical, blue-black with bloom; typically seven to 13 per cluster, fairly even ripening; excellent full flavor, similar in quality to Pembina, fairly sweet; pH 3.8-3.9. Shrub multistemmed, to 4 m high; initially upright to arching -spreading and 6 m spread at maturity; suckering quite freely near crown, crown expands indefinitely. Hardy to zone 1 (Yukon); crown long-lived, 50+ years. Foliage moderately susceptible to powdery mildew, berries more resistant. Very productive, exceeds Smoky at some locations. Occupies a rising proportion of commercial hectarage in Canada, the third largest in 1993.
