Some quirky stuff

Grub · March 10, 2006

Clearly, my Box Car Willie is a faux. But it’s not the faux from last year. It’s big and red, but unusually soft.
I have maybe six fruits thus far.

Mule Team alongside from Chuck’s site is, well, appearance-wise, exactly the same large ribbed-shouldered round red. It can’t be the real deal. A couple of fruit ripening now.

Mortgage Lifter Pester’s Strain has one ribbed green fruit. I wouldn’t like to be paying off my house with this guy. Lol.

Marianna’s Peace, second year running, is now setting fruit after maybe three months in the ground.

Rose Quartz Multiflora is red. But pleasantly sweet.

Broad Ripple Yellow Currant isn’t a currant at all, but a yellow cherry.

Matts Wild, a currant, needs to be very ripe to reveal its sweetness.

Last but not least, Kelloggs’s Breakfast x Aker’s West Virginia F4 is producing small orange/red ribbed fruit of indistinguishable flavour.

Cheers, Grub.
