I pot up quite young compared to many TVillers. Here’s my KARMApink. Happy little one!

It is a strong and very wide baby plant, its width is more on par with some larger fruited varieties. Much wider than Sungold or Garnet which I'm also growing this year.

I have new phone and have trouble sending pictures to my computer. So sorry, no pictures. But my KARMA Pink has tiny flowers developing. The plant is about 12 inches and more than ready to be transplanted into a permanent home. The weather is not cooperating. We expecting 42 low on Monday, and next weekend two days of low 45. Need good weather soon.

Same size plant and foliage as large as a big PL beefsteak.
Big leaves make big flavour I think.
Something different than most other cherries I think you will find

Ella, just give them lots of light and hang in there, it has to warm up sometime

The weather's still rough here, lows are supposed to be in the 30's Fahrenheit the next couple of days...

Even with a last frost date of 4/20. Mother Nature is still outta wack..

I am getting impatient, Barb is picking the fruits and raving about them. I want some too. hehe
Thank you for your encouragement, ladies.
btw Biyskaya Rosa and Not Vintage Wine setting flowers as well.
Karen, did you try growing Biyskaya Rosa? It is from Russia and should be able to handle cold weather.

I have grown it, a very nice tomato and definitely well adapted for a Canadian garden too.

Got my Karma Pink in it's own big pot today, and my little Zena's Gift is now happy in the rich soil. Looking forward to trying these little babies!!!

Default Here are the pics I promised:

I have picked quite a few ripe fruits in the last couple of days. These were eaten last week just never had posted the picture.

Here's something you (KarenO and Marsha) might not know about your plants.

Last Weds I bought one of those basic cloning machines - $50ish; it's in a 5 gallon bucket with a pump inside that sprays water. There are 8 holes for cuttings that are placed in collars. It looks like the type of thing you would make yourself.

So I put my first cuttings in that night; Cuttings are from plants that had branches break in our wind. I didn't have Clonex which I read is the best cloning material to use. It says that roots should develop after day 3. So the way I count, that is Saturday night. Only 1 of the cutting did start getting some roots on day 3. (More cuttingz started getting roots on Sunday - day 4)

Well on Friday, I put a KP cutting in - and IT has the most developed roots of any of them even though it was in the cloner not even the full 3 days. AMAZING!

Our wind gusts were so intense today, it pulled one of the cuttings out of the collar and another one in the collar totally out. The cloner is on my porch too.

That is a very interesting observation Barb re the cuttings rooting quickly. I have never tried rooting cuttings from them. Thank you for the photo`s, I am very happy you are enjoying them. Warms my heart
