Orange Pixie and other small cherries

creister · May 3, 2006

I just noticed Orange Pixie, Tiny-tim, Red Robin, and Yellow Canary in the TGS cataloge. I was thinking ahead to something to grow in the winter. Has anyone tried any of these and how did they taste?

I have always enjoyed Orange Pixie. Golf Ball sized globes of sun colored fruit. Taste is a little tart but above average over all (it gets a B-) The foliage is rugose and the plant is self supporting. It is a hybrid.

Tiny Tim has done well for me in the past.Small plant,bunches of tomato's.The main problem was the tough skin.The maters had a nice flavor,tho!

I don't usually grow the tiny cherries but grew yellow canary this year. Was not particularly early (sungold was earlier) and the fruits were rather bland and watery. cute plant though. I'll never give it another chance I'm afraid.
