The Alden variety is a hybrid with large bluish, red fruit that has a slight muscat flavor. The texture is often described as meaty, and while the skin can crack, this plant produces so much fruit, that plenty of your harvest will have skins intact. The plant is vigorous and can be used to create a snack-filled shade. This variety is susceptible to black rot and will require spraying or bagging.
