■ 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.
