Clusters of small, round fruits ripen to a deep indigo-blue, often with brilliant red or crimson undersides where the sun does not directly touch. The contrast between the blue shoulders and the red base makes the fruits look almost jewel-like on the vine. The skin is smooth, slightly glossy, and thin, while the flesh is sweet with a touch of tang, making it excellent for fresh snacking, salads, and garnishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrowth Habit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eType: Indeterminate — vigorous vines that will keep producing all season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaturity: Mid-season; typically 75–80 days from transplant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFruit Size: Small cherry-type fruits, usually in clusters of 6–8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYield: Heavy yields throughout the summer when properly supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCare \u0026amp; Cultivation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStarting Seeds: Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date.
