Champagne Cherry

Hi All. I started a thread on the comparison over at idig. My photo is not very helpful, but here is what I put:
Coyote
solid pale yellow color
short vines, bushy plant habit
uniform size of fruit
average leaf size is small
sparse leaf coverage
odd number of fruit per cluster

Champagne Cherry
similar color, somewhat translucent
long vines
fruit size varies
average leaf size much bigger
foliage is much thicker
cluster size even or odd

taste is similar
leaf shape is similar

This year I planted a 25 foot fence row with Coyote, and only had one Champagne in a container. This may affect the comparison, but I have had Coyote in a container and it was exactly the same as a field grown plant. The photo doesn't help much. The difference is mostly in the plants.

The difference is so slight that it doesn't matter as far as growing them. I think the only question left is where did the CC come from?
