This variety is at the F5 stage and is derived from the SG X CP cross. Planted seeds from a 2 selections at the F4 stage. Most of the F4s were extremely good, and if the F5s from this selection doen't pan out for any reason there are alot of other potential candidates I have seed for. Goal= sungold sized cherry with exeptional flavor and purple color. We have this, but it is not stable yet. Some size and flavor variation showing up in the F4. I sent seeds to Heirloomdady, Carolyn Male, and ?For the two purple selection. One selection labeled B-2 Plant#5 came from an F4 purple, derived from an F3 chocolate(Hence the B). The other one, labeled P-1 plant #5, is from a seperate purple line (hence the P). The P line has much darker flesh. For those who received seed, feel free to post pics and and descriptions if you get around to growing this one this year. I started seeds today.
