Description: This is a very early ripening cultivar that has excellent flavored fruit. It yields an average of 9-11 pounds of fruit per season, with the berries being medium-large in size. The bush reaches about 5’ at maturity, and has an upright habit. Flowers have a pink tinge in spring, which sets it apart from most other cultivars. It flowers as early, or earlier than 'Weymouth'. Although it may be susceptible to damage from late frosts, it has seldom suffered serious damage and may have some innate level of cold tolerance. HANNAH'S CHOICE ripens at approximately the same time as 'Duke', the leading early cultivar in New Jersey, and typically reaches 50% ripeness about 2 days earlier than 'Duke'. Its fruit are medium to large sized, medium to light blue, with good scars, and excellent firmness. Fruit is sweet, sub-acid, and mild-flavored with pronounced peach accents.
