Thanks, Mark... I haven't tried either of those yet. I put Momotaro on my list too.

In the blacks I've found three consistently great tasting - Indian Stripe (RL not PL) iis my fave, and this year Pink Berkeley Tie Dye and Tsindao are outstanding. What surprised me is that each of them has a very distinct but great flavour, while other blacks tended to be very similar in taste (I do like them all) but more variable in intensity from fruit to fruit. Tsindao is a brown-black which is consistently super sweet. PBTD has a unique sweet but very tangy thing going, but the shortest shelf life of any fruit I've ever grown... you just have to stand over them and gorge when ready.

Still looking for a primo red, too - my Tarasenko 6 this year was not T6, drat... after all the waiting, it produced some roundish bland pale pink thing.
