Thanks to Lurley, I'm growing Copper River this year and it was one of the super-early-for-me varieties that got started Feb. 1st. We had our 3rd one tonight and it was up against our third Fish Lake Oxheart and first Hays' of the year. It narrowly beat out Hays' for first place with FLO a distant third. It definitely is juicy and sweet and very beautiful with many unblemished fruits and just gorgeous sliced on the plate. It's definitely a determinate for sure and a different variety than Ananas Noire. Things can change as the season progresses, but this one's a winner for those with a sweet tooth.
