A vigorous, upright plant producing firm, dark blue fruit with a good, rich flavour that is sweet, but tangy. The fruit ripens during July, a little after the earliest varieties, and slightly before the main mid-season ones. Spartan is late-flowering, so can avoid damage from late frosts, but requires pollination for best yields, so grow along side a different variety. Performs best on well-drained soils, and has some resistance to the fungal disease 'Mummy Berry'.
