Now that the season is coming to an end here in the Philadelphia area, I'd like to give a report on my cherry's.

After much indecision, I ended up growing:

Sungold
Nectar
Blush
Isis Candy

I grow cherries mainly to eat off the plant when in the garden.

Sungold - Was fabulous as usual, even with all the rain.

Nectar - As sweet as advertised. Not complex in flavor as most have said, but still really sweet and enjoyable to my pallette. I also liked that it maintained its size to the end (a little larger than average), unlike SS100 which gets too small towards the end of the season. This will be my red cherry for the foreseeable future.

Blush - It produced well and looked cool, but was bland. I pulled it halfway.

Isis Candy - Just ok. Was a little sweet with a somewhat meaty texture. Good for salads. Maybe someday again, but not in the near future.

So next year it'll be Sungold and Nectar again. For new additions, I'm looking at Snow White, Ildi, and thinking about giving Black Cherry another try. Seems a lot of folks like Sugar Lump, so it's a possibility.
