A replicated trial of eleven cultivars was planted at Simcoe, Ontario in 1991. Plants were first harvested in 1994. After eight harvest seasons, 'Bluegold' was the highest yielding cultivar, averaging 6.8 t/ha, and 'Toro' had the largest berries, averaging 1.81 g per berry. 'Bluetta' was the earliest cultivar with on average 50% of its yield picked by 16 July and 'Elliott' the latest, with on average 50% of its yield picked by 27 August. Overall, 'Duke' proved to have the best combination of characteristics of the early cultivars, and 'Nelson' was the most impressive late cultivar.
