Favourite Green When Ripe Cherry?

[Jayc]

I’m looking for my ultimate GWR cherries, I just think they look and taste so good
My favourite ones so far are
Green Doctors,
Green Doctors Frosted,
Green Pear
Verde Claro.

I can’t imagine there are any better tasting to me than these, but I can’t help but look! For me 2014 is the year of the cherry, in particular GWR ones!

As well as the four above, I’ll be growing;
Bosque Green cherry
Esmeralda Golosina
Green Bumble Bee
Green Envy
Green Grape Beyond
Green Tiger
Green Zebra Cherry

I’ve previously grown
Aunt Ruby's German Green Cherry
Chereokee Green Grape
Grinch Cherry
Green Grape

I’d love to hear of your favourite ones, and any not on my list I should perhaps try?

You've already listed some of my faves, but on your top list you list just Green Pear, and I know it as Cherokee Green Pear, a mutation from CG, and that from Reinhard Kraft's 2013 growouts, with whom I just traded seeds as we've done now for about 15 years. He is not a general source of seeds.

Earl's Green Cherry is another one you don't list.

And I requested from him one called Emerald Pear, (Izumrudnaya Grusha), from Russia, and hope that it will be grown out this summer and offered in my next seed offer.

Of those I've tasted, the ones I like best,in order, would be :

Verde Claro
Green Zebra Cherry
Both the frosted and non-frosted Green Doctors.

Looking at his list and yours, and others I know of, it seems that a variety is sometimes listed as a pear and sometimes as a cherry, so when I see a picture then I know if it's a pear or a cherry.

Should that make a difference as far as taste goes? Nope, not at all, but it can be confusing.

Carolyn, I believe it is just known as Green pear although it is cherry size. Looking at http://t.tatianastomatobase.com/wiki...b=General_Info it originated with Terroir seeds and their site confirms it was developed by one of their growers. I had my seeds through Tradewinds. It grows very well here and the flavour

It's funny if I hadn't grown Medovaya Kaplya from your seed offer I would have given most things with pear in the name a wide berth after I'd grown Yellow pear which is not very nice!

I had forgotten Cherokee Green Pear, I'd miss sorted it in with GWR not Cherries. It's a good tomato, but I grew it alongside Green Pear and that for me won hands down.

Thank you, I shall keep a watch for both Izumrudnaya Grusha and Earl's Green cherry.

I intend to have grown out the Emerald Pear from Russia, but not Earl's Green Cherry, which is just another one to consider, I don't have seeds for that one.

A person can grow out just so many small GWRipe ones, right?

I agree with Verde Claro being at the top, I think it is pretty much for me too, though without growing them all together it's a hard one for me to call.

I'm batting nearly zero on green when ripe cherries. I've grown Green Doctors twice. Last year, I got maybe one or two cherries from two plants, which is strange because I've had reasonable success with most cherries. My Carbon Copy and Black cherries have done awesome and we had so many many that I was able to dehydrate a bunch.
