Specifications
Sussette shows compact growth with a lovely upturned leaf. The variety blooms just above the leaf, meaning that fl owers dry up quickly and there is reduce risk of fruit rot. The variety is resistant to mildew. The deep straw technique can be applied to lengthen the picking period. The colour of the fruit remains stable with less chance of pressure marks compared with other varieties in this ripening period. That makes Sussette suitable for longer distribution channels. The size and appearance (brightly coloured) is comparable to Elsanta.
