Year: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017
Accession: 241
Seed Source: Seed purchased from Eagleridge Seeds, Victoria Seedy Saturday, 2013. Confirmed with seller that this is not 'Mary's Austrian' (as labelled), and fruit does not match any other varieties grown by seed vendor, confirming a natural cross that occurred.
Comments:
2017 2016 Not great production this year, partially due to a tough year. I'm going back to the 2014 seed for 2017. 2015 Poor production this year, couldn't determine as to why. Will attempt growing in 2016 from original G1 (2014) seed stock. The fruit that was produced however displayed the same as the previous year, but plant was small and weak, and did not grow many fruit. 2014 Delicious sweet, full flavoured grape-shape cherry fruit. Firm flesh. Borne on trusses of 5-6 fruit.
