Aunt Ruby's German Cherry?
Anyone grown this? Thought it would be cute with my Sungold, Sweet Chelsea, and Black Cherries. Taste?

I actually have seed but am not going to try it this year. It appears to be a selection from a natural cross, and may not be absolutely stable yet (still segregating into various types). If it can be stabilized into a good tasting green fleshed indeterminate cherry, it will fill a nice niche - Green Grape is OK, but there is room for improvement in my view!

I grew it last year.
It was larger than one thinks of as a cherry, maybe 1.25" to 1.5" in diameter. The flavor was good, though not as "zippy" as the full size Aunt Ruby. I took some to Tomatopalooza[tm] III last July and I don't think it WOW'ed folks, but neither did it cause anyone to run to the railing and spit it out. It did make for great visual appeal in a cherry mix tomato salad. |
