I've grown both and there's a thread or three here at Tville where some folks have done the same and added a third similar one I don't remember. Yes, I do remember, sorry for the lag time, it was Brown Berry bred by Sahin Seeds in the Netherlands, and of course no parentage given and I did grow that one also.

So what's the difference?

Black Cherry was bred by Vince Sapp, deceased husband of Linda Sapp who owns TGS and they never said what the parentage was, and don't think I didn't ask Linda about that several times and she would just laugh.

Chocolate Cherry was bred by Aaron Whaley when he was still at SSE in IA and he never gave the parentage either

For me where I grow stuff in zone 5 Black Cherry was always the best re taste and production and was much darker than Chocolate Cherry as well as Brown Berry and here's a picture of BB
