I think Krasnador Titan is a good example. After the positve review in Mother Earth the few companies that offered it were sold out almost immediately. Next year every company will have it
I didn't know any company was offering it. Which ones offered it?
It was Brook who praised it highly in MEN and he got his seeds from M. Belfer, as I had. And it was M. Belfer who sold seeds, at a rather high price I might add, to others thru MEN.
I grew it and thought it was awful, the hardest fruits I've ever grown and when I listed it in the SSE Yearbook I said I thought its best use was for canning and not fresh eating.
Marina then told me that the second year she grew it she didn't think much of it either.
So knowing Krasnodor Titans as I do I can't see any huge demand for it once the word gets around to others, and it has, at least at GW when several saw it on my grow list a few years ago and when I reported back. It's not one that I sent to any of the seed companies that I send the best of my best to for trial.
And I don't think Brook would praise it highly again either.
