this one plant has been a solid 9 all season
lots of fruit for two solid months
The orange/red cherry is a good compliment to the chocolate
cherry. Fresh and fruity. Good zing. A solid 8
ripens first orange then deepens to an orange/red
These two plants have had the best well balanced form and size.
No staking at all needed. 8-10 inches
*lots of seeds fermenting
Started the season with aprox 18-24 dFollett micros, some were
winter grown and some more dwarf.
I think I'm down to 8 now. These have kept a cherry bowl full all
summer, 6oz to a pound since the end of May. All in small 1 gal
fabric grow bags.

Great work, Oakley. Keep those two lines going and get them stabilized. With these, you can get at least two generations a year (possibly 3 if you save seed early). You'll have something stable sooner than you realize and will have to be deciding on names..... Your experience demonstrates how to find the gems - work with lots of plants.
