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 Breeder: New York Agric. Expt. Sta. (Geneva). Vendor: Joseph Harris Co. Parentage: (Geneva 11 x Rhode Island) x Fireball. 1966. J Nekola: 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. CV Burt's Bees 1994 Developed by Dr. Robinson, Geneva NY AES. http://sev.lternet.edu/~jnekola/Heir...ew_yorkerA.jpg
