A local female form that can produce large red berries in winter. I am regularly told that it is hermaphrodite
but mine has never managed to produce berries alone (it is some way away from the closest male).
Writing in the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society in 1988, Ken Beckett says:
"In any large batch of seedlings it is usually possible to find a hermaphrodite individual. This will fruit by itself but nor very freely. 'Redruth' is an exception,
but it does need good spring weather to set a worthwhile crop of berries."
