What specifically about the JF flavor did you prefer over the EoE? Balance/skewing toward sweet/tart or just over intensity, etc?

The dark cherry I have now is Brown Berry. I honestly can't tell it apart from Black Cherry. I think I like Purple Bumble Bee better anyway. |

I had to play with the new toy http://vegvariety.cce.cornell.edu/ma...eSearch=Search
I searched Sungold and Porter - it gives Sungold 4-1/3 stars and Improved Porter got 5 stars. |

Sunrise BB was amazing in my garden. So many tomatoes from them and they tasted like fruit candy. I think I will grow them every year for sometime.

I will be growing also several black / brown varieties this year accidentally, not for the purpose of side by side comparison. But inevitably they will be judged against each other. They are:
== Cherokee Purple, Indian Strip (RL), Black From Tual, Daniel Burson, Black Sea Man, Brown Heart( I named), dwarf Purple Heart I have grown CP and BFT in the past and have like BFT more productive and early too. After hearing so much about IS over the years, finally I should be able to find out for myself. Lets come back to this thread during the harvest season and review the "versus'" . Gardeneer |

Of these, I've only grown Sweet Sue, which was delicious. Craig rated it 8.5 last year, while he rated Summer Sweet Gold a 9 ("superb, juicy, intense").

I love Indian Stripe, but, I grew MC for the first time last season and it was fantastic! Just a bit of a notch above in flavor, fruit size and productivity in my garden. The fruit was wonderful on a sandwich or in my black tomato bacon jam!! Yummy!
So another vote for MC.. It will be back for 2016 |
