No suprise as was the case this season ..for me
EM Champion and Velmozha ....are the production champs!
started with ripe fruit June 28 th and still producing well with green ones coming on ! In 7 gallons who could ask for anything more ! (see pix).
Loxton Ladd full of orange fruit with a very nice Tomato/ fruit taste
.....bit of a hint of "apricot " flavour ...(sorry if my attempt to describe an extra
tomato flavour ...falls short )
Krasnador Titans had a few very nice fruit now lots of greenies but very few
fruit in hand ....for me . (compared to the others to have been left behind in this year )
BrandyFred is a very nice looking plant..... but a few a fruits are blushing and more greenies coming on ........BUT....no actual fruit in hand at this point .
Zinulya ....seemed to have struggled all along and the vines wanted to
wander far than the normal "container friendly " habit.......
BUT........BUT...it has actually produced the only LARGE fruit this season ...In my trial of 6 varieties in 7 gallon containers.....
2 lbs etc. very few and much later .... (it makes me wonder if a larger "container" (than the 7 gallon trial ) would make this variety more interesting .
To me I will end my trial about august 21 /2017
as anytime after that the Seasonal / weather/ disease ....fortunes can change
drastically on the coast ....
I am more inclined to favour a large consistent crop of medium Tomatoes midseaon (or early ).
over a chance and promise of Yummier/ bigger tomatoes later ... "just wait another week "
to ripen ........(some years that extra week never comes on the coast ).
