Grinch Cherry

[charline]

I have two grinch cherry plants growing. I got the seeds in the MMMM. One is a RL and one is a PL which is great so I can compare.
First ripe is the RL. It is a round cherry which turns completely yellow when ripe. I thought it should be a GWR ...????? and what about the shape of the fruit: round? the PL plant has the funny shaped fruits the grinch cherry should have. But no ripe yet.
does someone also have a grinch RL? how is the fruit?

the flavor is very good and rich, I like it a lot

This is all Tania has, but there are many listings for it in my 2016 SSE YEarbook.

Just summarizing

indet PL plant, 1oz cherries, from Secret Seed Cartel, very good flavor, that adjective is not high for that person

Bred by Keith Muller, a GWRipe cherry that's more tear dropped shape than round

indet,PL, pear shaped,good yield,very good flavor,also low re adjectives from this person as well

So it looks like what you got from the swap were probably cross pollinated seeds.

I grew Grinch Cherry last year.

I only had two plants and both were true to the pictures from the seed source. GWR elongated cherry appropriately resembling the shape of the Grinch's body. They were in the last planting and highly heat stressed, so I don't want to say much about the flavor other than Carolyn's comment on the description is spot on IMO.

very good flavor, that adjective is not high for that person
