Can some one post an accurate description of this variety? I find it listed as Ind. and Det. I want to use it in a border if it is Det. How big does it get? I found one post that said it grows over 8' and others that say it is Det. type. Thanks.

I trialed it for SSE when that variety first came from Russia.

What I trialed was indet with med sized red oblate ( flattened) fruit.

It was first listed in the SSE YEarbook by SSE itself in 1995. I looked at the 1996 SSE Yearbook and of the four who list it only two state plant habit and say indet and one person says 4 ft tall.

In the 2008 SSE Yearbook of those who stated plant habit all said indet, RL.
