Grower: Kelly

Year: 2015

Accession: 77

Seed Source: Donated by Meighan M., New Westminster, BC.

Comments:

2015 Smaller than 'Andrina Dwarf' and 'Tiny Tim', did well in a 3 gallon pot, so very good for container gardening. Plant itself is less than one foot tall. Tasty little cherry fruit, with well-balanced flavour. Heat may have delayed ripening/production, even in partial shade. Approx 0.5 lb/plant.
