These heirlooms/OPs have done well for me in hot, humid Virginia summers: Stump of the World Kellogg's Breakfast Armenian Oaxacan Jewel Moruno de San Pablo Ananas Noire Cornue des Andes (Andes Horn) Orange Banana Cuore Antico di Acqui Terme Pineapple Mediterranean Dikovinka (cherry) Super Snow White (cherry) Some of them didn't set much fruit in mid/late July due to high temps, so there weren't many ripe fruit in mid/late August, but fruit set picked up again in August when temperatures dropped a little. I noticed this especially with Stump of the World, Armenian and Oaxacan Jewel. But all of them survived the heat fine and produced well on either side of it. Cherokee Carbon (hybrid) does extremely well for me, sets fruit heavily nearly all summer, and is delicious. You'd probably like it if you like Carbon. |
I have had good production from lots of varities in Southeast Texas, the following are the ones I plan on growing this year because they are productive and taste good.
Dwarf Tasmanian Chocolate Dwarf Rosella Purple New Big Dwarf Brandywine Suddith Mariannas Peace Stump of the World Prudens Purple |
