Star

Star flowers late and ripens early. The berry is large, firm, has a good picking scar. Can be harvested rapidly because the berries are in loose clusters and ripen during a short period. Flavor and color are good. Susceptible to bacterial leaf scorch (Xylella) and necrotic ring blotch virus.

Recommended for Florida: no, too late for the Florida market window.
