Looking for input on this variety - and wondering why more people don't grow it after reading some good reviews. I'm sure there are better reds - but at 60 days (here in the PNW), seems hard to resist!!

B.C KO T:
60 days, det., compact regular leaf plant with high yield of red medium size fruit, 3-6 oz, excellent flavor, sweet, meaty and juicy, keeps well after picking for several days, excellent variety for growing in northern or short season areas
History

New Yorker
2" round, meaty, fruits with sweet-rich flavor on compact 1½' vines; dries wonderfully; does not crack; bears from early in season to frost; great drier. Surprising this is not a SSE favorite.
