Glorielle matures about 3–4 days before Clery and, thanks to its excellent flavour, has in recent years established itself among early varieties as the new standard for direct sales.
The berries make a very attractive punnet. Yields are comparable to Clery, but Glorielle achieves a higher proportion of Class 1 fruit.
Glorielle is a vigorous variety with a high calcium requirement. Growers should therefore take care to ensure that the plants are provided with adequate calcium.
