Benz '05, tet, Dor-M, re, fr, 36", 4 way branching with a bud count of 35; 4 1/2" deep velvety ruby red embellished with a fine but very pronounced snow white picotee edge and green throat. Fertile both ways and according to John, is throwing clear deep red kids with huge white braids and shark's teeth. Too immature to bloom in 2007 but is growing very well and as long as it doesn't require an extended freeze, it should do very well next year.
