In the same way, I can pick out Sweet Sue, Sweet Scarlet, Wild Fred, etc... That is what I mean by standouts. They are assertive enough and or in some way distinctive enough they stand above the rest. Are the other releases good? Yeah, nearly all of them are pretty darn good. Are all of them great? IMHO, no. Just a handful belong on that list.

Scooty, is it possible for you to compare the taste of Dwarf Wild Fred with that of Spudatula indet? I just can't add another variety to my list but might switch if I knew they were comparable.
