Comments:
2023 Really excellent production for me this year. The last time I grew it was a wetter, cooler year and it was in a cooler area. This year it was warm and dry, and in a nice, hot area. I averaged a little more than half a pound per plant, which is not bad for a 8-9 gram (0.3 oz) fruit. About 50 fruits per plant. First fruit was at 64 days, although most of them started coming at about 67-70 days. Will produce a second mini-flush if not pulled after the first. 2017 Very late cherry variety - might be weather related because I see other descriptors say 65-75 days. Good windowbox variety, although would have liked to see a larger harvest. Fruit is grape shaped, but some exhibit a point at the blossom end. Moderate flavour.
