But it's worth growing and eating, if someone is looking for a red cherry tom that stays compact.

The bush is finished producing its first crop, almost all fruits eaten now. There are five to six new littke nobs forming and growing, we'll see if they have enough strength to mature.
The taste was very ordinary, a bit like its ancestors red Robin and Mohamed - but I would say those are much tastier varieties than this cross.
Sorry to be a bearer of not such a glowing report!
