JDs SCT 8.6 Big whoopers, relatively productive. Shines on the texture front, the way Crnkovic Yugo does. Fizzles out.

I like dark ones too.

Daniel Burson is excellent. 9+

Daniel Burson is a favorite of mine. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying it! How are your plants performing? Height, fruit set, disease issues?

Thanks for any information you can give me.

[BigVanVader]

Was your DB later to set than other blacks you've grown? Mine is behind almost every other variety I'm growing.

Height is very manageable, about 5-6 ft, fruit set has been very good, disease issues minimal. A bit of fungus but that has jumped on everything due to June gloom.

Daniel Burson is a winner. My boy loves them. Has a permanent spot now.

It wasn't early, I'd say middle to late. Since my season is insanely long I don't really think about them in those terms.

Rebelski. Noticed it's more fungal resistant than Marbonne. Consistent fruit set.

Indigo Cherry. I understand these taste good.

Blacks seem to take their sweet time sometimes Faster ones have been ISPL, Carbon.

Pierce's Pride, solid flavor, productive and compact. Purple Reign has been surprisingly good. Tasm Choc keeps impressing with its consistency.

Travis Bickle got Organizized . Plants were left to their own devices for 2 weeks and fungus got a foothold. I'm fighting back. Everything doused w Neem + DE, and fed them via drench. Haircuts all around. Many were removed.

Impressive ones:

Zarca, as advertised, high number of fruits on strong trusses and stems. Spreads.

Cosm Volkov being its usual self, likes the tube.

A Ginny's Purple, slow off the blocks, catching up.

Maglia Rosa, after a total harvest about 3 weeks ago, I placed it inside this large concrete container. Normally it houses tall sunflowers. Roots have taken hold, I suspect it'll be loading up soon.

Maglia Rosa was a one-and-done determinate for me. Yield was good, but it didn't keep making new flowers and fruit. It will be interesting to see if it does for you.

Me too.

I picked everything and it was yellowish and sad looking. Came back to this green beastie, which tells me it just might. I fed it today so there's hope. All that new green is from water only for 2 wks.

I never got around to starting any this year. How did you like it Gerardo?

[jmsieglaff]

Great looking haul! Any specific taste comments on DB or OR117?

Maglia R is very good to excellent. Prolific. You need at least 10 plants to really have enough, very compact so it should be easy.

DB hard to find faults, outstanding all around, sweet, texture.

OR117 I was able to taste a couple of ripe-on-the-vine ones side by side with a very ripe Pit Viper. Practically like eating mangoes. My only wish is for OR117 to be more productive, other than that, two very enthusiastic thumbs up.
