I also will be using these as my root stock for grafting. I used a few this year and these are great in my garden.
The yellow one has very few seeds, but is too juicy for me to use it as a paste or drying variety. The round one is simply not productive enough to use. The oval shaped one has very thick walls and a good taste with good production.
I also grew three JxSR this year and again ber on all early fruit and some EB problems. I won't be using this variety anymore.
