This early to mid-season variety thrives in sunny to semi-shaded locations, making it versatile for both garden beds and large patio containers. Known for its resilience in hotter climates, 'Osorno' boasts a semi-upright growth habit with numerous canes that bear fruit prominently for effortless picking.
