Well-suited to central Texas gardens, commonly used for syrups, jams, and medicinal purposes. Prune annually to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Plants are best grown in moist areas with good air circulation. Fruit is valued by wildlife. Partially self-fertile so 2 or more compatible varieties improves fruit yield and quality.

York: Very large berries, more compact growth, ripens later than Adams.
Ranch: Smaller plant size, early ripening, good pollinator for other varieties.
