Can't wait to hear from everyone. Don't forget the tasting will be in March, and probably further north, maybe St. Pete.

Are any of these saved or all new from sources?Reason for asking is that I would be more interested in plants "climatized"to our extreme Florida growing conditions.I know the Kumato would be from saved seed since they are not availiable at seed companys.

Yellow pear, Brandywine, Green Zebra all saved from my garden. Yellow pear matured into something quite good, after about 2 months of mushy texture. Green Zebra is 3oz and I find it sweet with a complex flavor because it has a little acid in it. Rest of the country doesn't seem to like it, but everyone I have given plants to and grows it here says it is very good. I think it does well in our climate.Super prolific too, very strong vines, bushy growth habit indet.

Here's my list that I have to grow out:
