YIKES ! never thought of that ! I just hoped there would be another limited time opening ...for the Tatiana source …..Yikes !

I will have to try this one again next year ….

It is a vigorous compact producer...etc.


I just picked a few off the vine yesterday .


I have decided I am a "Fussy Black bear " when it comes to this one …


I mean The fruit is good solid meaty ….good taste ...large ...prolific …

good right ? I found if there was the blemish of the concentric ring on top of fruit

I turned it upside down …...and behold !...fruit is gorgeous and dark and meaty !

Real Magazine pix fruit . If I slice a sandwich slice ...from the upside down fruit

I can't even tell there ever was a concentric ring blemish etc.


What a silly Fussy Black Bear ……

I will try this one again next year ...and work on my culture ….and hopefully it wont be a record heat year ….again and less concentric rings etc.

Please see my post above yours about where to hopefully get some seeds,I checked that out via Google for commercial sources,negative, so actually,from YOU.Which should work since you just said you'd be growing it next year,so YES,you still have seeds left.
