Well, we've pretty much tasted them all. The winners...
[out of our 200 plus plants - these stood head and shoulders above the rest
B]Indeterminate varieties:[/B] Nepal (always does well, always tastes great to us) Brandywine (another spectacular showing, flavor wise) Lillian's Yellow (ditto) Ruby Gold (aka Gold Medal) - haven't grown it in years, but it seemed to agree with the weather - just delicious - best its tasted in my experience Hugh's (another I've not grown in years that shone this year) the Cherokee threesome - Purple, Chocolate and Green Polish (Bill Ellis version) Yellow Oxheart (another I've not grown in years - wow!) Mortgage Lifter, Halladay's Sungold and Mexico Midget, of course Egg Yolk (large yellow cherry) and Lemon Drop (medium nearly white cherry - very pale yellow) - new to us this year - really nice Don's Double Delight (just gorgeous and tastes as good as it looks) Dwarf varieties Summer Sunrise Summertime Gold Dwarf Sweet Sue Dwarf Mr. Snow Dwarf Emerald Giant a newly named early generation selection from Cheerful - Dwarf Black Angus (medium sized incredibly delicious purple - the Cheerful line is a result of Summertime Green X Sweet Adelaide) - I named this after my wife's dad's family name a newly named early generation selection from Fancy - Dwarf Emerald Isle (medium sized green heart, faint pink blush, wonderful flavor - the Fancy line is a Sunny F3 orange fruit X Orange Pear - Sunny is Tipsy F2 X Orange Heirloom - so go figure - where did the green and heart come from? Recessive traits going wild!) - I named this after Ireland (the Emerald Isle)
