Narrative

The full-flavor standard against which other cultivars were judged at Beaverlodge. Orig. near Barrhead, Alberta (54 deg N), by J.A. Wallace, Agriculture Canada, Beaverlodge, Alb., and introd. in 1952. Wild plant discovered in Pembina River Valley by J.A. Wallace about 1928; tested as Barrhead No. 1 and as B.E.F. 3501; reselected 1950. Berries up to 14 mm diam., obovate to nearly spherical, blue-black with bloom, typically nine to 13 per cluster, fairly even ripening; excellent full tangy flavor fairly sweet; pH 4. 1. Shrub multistemmed, to 5 m high; initially upright to upright-spreading and 5-m spread at maturity; moderate to sparse suckering near crown, crown expands more slowly than Smoky. Hardy to zone 1 (Yukon); crown long-lived, 70+ years. More susceptible to root aphids than Smoky. Berries moderately resistant to powdery mildew, but leaves moderately susceptible. Nearly as productive as Smoky, as widely but much less extensively grown because of slow suckering.
