Description
Variety identity varies by source: the HortRes Kerikeri accession appears to match French Sugar, while the Waimea Nursery version resembles Black Poutu. HortRes material is reportedly a caprifig that does not produce edible fruit. True Black Mission exists elsewhere in New Zealand, distinct from both of these selections.
