Thanks in advance.

I grew Mountain Merit along with Defiant and several other Hybrids. Fusarium and grey mold and some late blight got all of them except the Mountain Merit and one Defiant. They both produced well. Mountain Merit had larger fruit than Defiant and a much superior taste to any of the other Hybrids( Goliath& Bella Rosa). Mountain Merit is still blooming and setting fruit today while the rest of the garden is empty. Next year Mountain Merit will be the only hybrid I grow and I am seriously considering using it as rootstock for my first attempt at Heirloom grafts along with Floralina from B54red's fusarium trials and RST-04-105 from Aclum. Grafting looks to be here to stay.
