There are 5 of the new dwarves that are GWR. Which two would you grow this year? Thanks.

would like Beryl Beauty and Summertime

I would choose 1 smaller and 1 larger.

My 2 favorites are:

GWR small - I really liked Dwarf Kelly green (even more than Beryl). The flavor and production were both fantastic for me. Definitely my favorite GWR dwarf.

GWR large - Summertime Green

Beryl Beauty has been a very small producer for me for two years running. I am switching to Summertime Green for 2015.

I love all of the GWRs - Beryl and Jade and Kelly, being smaller, are tomato machines for me and the flavors are excellent too - they are smaller in size. Emerald Giant and Summertime Green are nearly as good as their daddy, Green Giant - good sized - maybe a bit more fussy about yield in challenging weather. Big Green Dwarf is a yellow skinned green, like Cherokee Green, and not as good as any of the above to my taste buds, but still fine.

There are a few still in the works - if we can get it right, Dwarf Emerald Isle is a knock out. It of course is varying a bit in advanced generations - we are aiming for heart shape too (and perhaps potato leaf!).
