Tasty and regular fruits are convincing arguments of Deluxe.

The compact picking period, a high percentage of class 1 fruits and long peduncles guarantee high picking rates and thus low picking costs. Deluxe does fine on plots without crop roatation. With an early planting date, a high yield can be reached.

Thanks to a regular fruit size, Deluxe can be used for biennial harvest.

We do not recommend to force Deluxe with fleece because flowers are blooming on top of the leaves and are therefore less protected against late spring frost.
