−*'Abbot' - A small to medium-size fruit, the skin has especially dense long hairs{{{pfaf183}}}. Well-flavoured{{{pfaf183}}}. The fruits are small unless they are well-thinned{{{pfaf183}}}. A vigorous, early-flowering, productive vine, cropping heavily whilst still young{{{pfaf183}}}.

−*'Blake' - A relatively small fruit, it tends to taper near the blossom end{{{pfaf183}}}. Ripening 6 - 8 weeks earlier than 'Hayward', it therefore considerably extends the fruiting season{{{pfaf183}}}. A precocious and productive plant, it can produce a crop in as little as 1 year after being grafted{{{pfaf183}}}. It flowers very early and is said to be self-fertile{{{pfaf183}}}.

−*'Hayward' - A very large fruit, of superior flavour{{{pfaf183}}}. It stores longer than most cultivars{{{pfaf183}}}. This cultivar is the most commonly cultivated form in Britain (1993), its fruits store well but it tends to flower very late{{{pfaf183}}} and there can be problems with pollination.

*'Janine' - A hermaphrodite form, therefore it does not require a male plant for fertilization. We do not as yet have any information on fruit quality.

−*'Saanichton 12' - The fruit is large and sweet{{{pfaf183}}}. This cultivar has grown well on Vancouver Island, Canada, for several years, it is not harmed by winter temperatures that have damaged other cultivars{{{pfaf183}}}. Recommended for garden use, it is also being investigated as a possible commercial cultivar{{{pfaf183}}}.

−*'Yellow Mountains' - A form from the Yellow Mountains of China, it has relatively small fruit of excellent eating quality{{{pfaf183}}}. Being tested in North Carolina(1993), it has the potential of fruiting more successfully in cooler climates than standard cultivars{{{pfaf183}}}.
