JIVE – A new variety coming out of the Fresh Forward program.   Although it is a bit later in production than Sonata, it has very good flavour, slightly darker colour and exceptional heat tolerance which may make it more suitable for climates where high temperatures sometimes cause issue with fruit quality.  Jive has a long shelf life and appears to have quite a good rain tolerance.  Its slowness to ripen also allows flexibility, allowing for delayed harvests if required for marketing purposes.     Plugs will be available in Fall 2018 for trial only.
