Hybrid grape/cherry varieties

zipcode · July 19, 2014

I haven't forgotten about this thread, I will update it with detailed info on each variety I ended up growing this year. It's just that I haven't had many ripe yet.
I ended up with the following: Sungold, Golden cherry, Suncherry premium, Sungrape, Golden Gem, Tomatoberry Garden, Rosada, Sakura, Cherrola, Lizziebell+Katiebell+Luciebell (part of rainbow mix, only planted 2 but at least they are differrent).

For now tasted Sungrape and Golden gem from the balcony. Sungrape is really good, with a spicy strong flavor, and a deep red color. Fruit are very small however (under 1/3 oz). The jury is still out on Golden Gem. I'll try to see when the optimum picking ripeness is, but I find the taste to be rather off. Strong flavor however, with good acidity and everything, unlike some opinions I've read about it being mild.
