Yields are consistently high in recommended climates, averaging 12–15 pounds per plant. The berries are large, averaging about 60 berries per cup or approximately 1.99 grams per berry. Fruit quality is very good, with firm berries, small picking scars, and a dark blue color. Harvesting may be done by hand or mechanically. The fruit is borne in loose clusters, allowing ripe berries to detach easily from the stems.
