I grew 2 MRs this year, one in ground, the other in a container. The one in the pot seems to have way more fruit, but they are much smaller than the ones grown in ground.
Is it just me, or does it seem like Blush is juicier, with thinner skin? MR is, like Gorbelly mentions, "crunchy" and while very good, it is dry and the skin is tough. I plan on going back to Blush next year. I also prefer MR when it is very ripe, rather than when it first turns pinkish.
