Worth mentioning: Best tasting: Polish Best yield: Husky Red Cherry (very late maturing for some reason) Best dwarf varieties: Summertime Gold, Bundaberg Rumball (grew it because the name appealed to me). Bundaberg (see pix) are small to medium tan fruits with a mild ok-not great-flavor, 4ft high plants that produced a lot of fruit fairly early, then died off. Wierdest: Michael Pollan, an odd shaped small green variety that refused to ripen. Here it is Sept. and they are still hard as a rock. Only virtue is that the critters don\'t bother them as much. I experimented with some mini varieties hoping to find one that would do well in a windowsill in winter. Wasn\'t impressed with Fantastico, House, Hahms Gelbe, Red Robin or Whippersnapper. Utyonok shows promise but is late ripening. |
