Mesabi--(MNSU 248) (Patented) This new release for the Northern growers should be a midseason winner. Mesabi produces large firm berries that are red all the way through with excellent flavor. Plants are very winter hardy and show excellent disease and root rot resistance. As with all new varieties, we recommend that you trial plant on a limited basis and get back to us with your results.

Northeastern--(Mdus 4380 x Holiday) This early variety ripens with Earliglow but with larger fruit and bigger yield. It can be grown even on heavy soils as it is resistant to the five eastern races of red stele, but is susceptible to powdery mildew. Northeastern will not runner as freely as Earliglow and should be adaptable as a u-pick fresh market or freezer berry for most northern growing regions. And, it has worked well in both hill and matted row systems.
