Jasper F1
So far in my search to find the perfect red cherry to complement Sungold in a pint of one-bite mixed cherries, this is the one to beat. As a huge bonus, the plant is supposed to be resistant to Late Blight, however Early Blight has taken out a bunch of lower leaves. The plant was topped at 7' in mid-July but I'm allowing side shoots to travel sideways on the trellis. The fruits ripen evenly, are the same size as Sungold F1, have a bit of a crunchy texture and have a nice sweet tomato taste. DH loves it!
