■ Whistler<br />
(Ben Tirran x Bieloruskaja Slodkaja)<br />
Whistler has high yields of small to<br />
medium sized high quality fruit. It<br />
has fair resistance to mildew <strong>and</strong><br />
good resistance to White Pine Blister<br />
Rust. Growth habit is slightly<br />
spreading with medium vigour.<br />
Flowering is late-mid season with<br />
good tolerance for late spring frost.<br />
Yields in replicated B.C. trials were<br />
more than 50% higher than Titania<br />
<strong>and</strong> Ben Alder. Fruit size is smaller<br />
than Ben Alder, .8 grams per berry.<br />
Juice quality is excellent. Well suited<br />
to machine harvest.
