This one is very unusual. A gs stripe Bicolour cocktail That gets a bright red blush while it’s still green then ripens to yellow on yellow stripe keeping the bright red blush.
Small indeterminate dwarf plant not micro. Tastes very good ![]() I really like this unusual ripening and hoping it comes through again in the F3. Generally a bicolour blushes after it ripens not before. From the Venus cross. |

F2’s still looking great and producing in the greenhouse now. f3’s on the go at Teresa’s in North Carolina and mine are ready to pot up here. Mine will take up residence In The greenhouse over the summer. Here’s another ripening from the mini beefsteaks on my Aztek cross.
Excellent Sweet flavour. It will be a nice amber colour at full ripe. |

The F3 is started showing lots of diversity.

All are welcome to like my page if you wish, it’s where I post most often. KarenO Last edited by KarenO; June 7, 2019 at 11:48 AM. |

Just fruit set so far. I have three plants in three different locations. I've had ripe fruit
from only small cherries this year. (looking back in photos about the same as last two years). Does look they will be earlier than most. |
