Ceylon?

Ciao Worth-

I grew Ceylon and liked it. I'm not sure why mine had better shelf life, but I do keep them in the coolest part of the house away from light. They kept about a week that way. Production was fairly high and I had the plant on the end of the row, which always bodes well for decent production, getting the most sun. The plant for me was a compact indeterminate, much like Black Plum, bushy but not super tall, about 5 ft. at the height of the season.

I'm glad you're growing both Ceylon and Red Star because that will give all of us a better idea which ruffled cherry is the better one.

Buona fortuna!
