Comments:

2017	Did quite poorly for me this year, but I think that was bad placement (extremely wet area in my garden). This is a known producer for me so was quite disappointed! I plan to re-grow again in 2018 in a dryer area.
2009	Very vigorous plant, absolutely delicious with an acidic earthy flavour. Great for sauce, really great producer, seems to thrive in heat. One of my biggest new surprises this year. Will definitely be a staple in the garden from now on. Benefits from really heavy staking. Didn't crack too much, and even then only minor cracks. Seems to turn more brown with the more sun it gets.
