| Yeah this one is on my want list. Interesting history. It was shelved for years. Developed in 1934. Plant geneticist Mark K. Ehlenfeldt had his hand in bringing this forward. He has worked on a number of cultivars more suited for home growing. Harvestman often talks about how universities often cater toward the commercial market and know little about the home marker. Not with Ehlenfeldt! He had his hand in releasing Legacy, Pink Lemonade, Razz, Cara's Choice (his all-time favorite, small plant, medium producer, not commercial in anyway. it has excellent flavor, I added one this year) Razz also is not suited for the commercial market and was released only for the home markets. Sweetheart another of his which has a regular crop and a small fall crop. Hanna's Choice another of his releases.I like this guy! I look forward to anything else he puts out! Mark's work was with ARS part of the USDA. Nice to know that home growers are considered in this government entity. He has released a few others but I have never seen them around including SHB types. |

| Indiana Berry is offering them next year, so I may pick up a couple. I have a Pink Lemonade and the berries are pretty good and it has grown really well. It produced lightly this last year, I think because of the extra cold winter. |
