I may not be the best person to take advice from on this subject. As I've said before, I'm really not into growing paster types per se, and taste is really the #1 consideration for me. If I don't think a variety is good for fresh eating too, I generally won't bother with it again.

Sarnowski - I don't count fruits, but one plant was probably good for close to 200. Your experience may vary, and mine may vary too in a hotter year. Very good flavor.

Kalman's - usually only moderate productivity. Very good to even excellent flavor. More productive for me in cooler years (like this year).

Speckled Roman - what I'd consider to be a "novelty". Taste just isn't there, very pretty though. Productivity on the high side of moderate.

Wagner - haven't grown it.
