Barry's Crazy Cherry - Page 2

tnkrer · April 17, 2015

bookmarking the thread for next year! Either one of those (assuming they taste good) would be great. Kathy, is it a hybrid or an OP? The site did not say.

Barry's crazy cherry is an OP variety.

KathyDC- I almost bought those seeds! Dang. I did buy and have growing Yellow Radiance, Candy Sweet Icicle, Dragons Eye, Berkeley Tie Dye (the green not the pink), and Large Barred Boar. Maybe we can swap seeds after the season is over?

Just wondering if anyone has an update on the flavor of this variety.

pmcgrady · December 31, 2015

I'm curious of the taste also, just got seeds from WBFs, still have a couple months before I can start them.

Santa brought me these seeds

I think I will have to grow it this season. Curious on the flavor thought? I love the production but I'm also looking for a flavor report? Thx!

I grew it last year and it was a production workhorse. The flavor was pretty balanced with a youch more sweet than acid. The skin was a bit thick but they resisted splitting pretty well. I had 3 plants and wished i only had 1. This one is definitely a multiflora.

Thanks. It is on my list for 2016 and I wonder how tall is the plant? Does it need lots of space? Is it late or mid season? I'm trying to find the proper spot in the garden.

heirloomtomaguy · January 1, 2016

Mine got about 4-5 ft tall. Not to tall bit really bushy.

I know I should have started the seeds already, but I'm going to grow it for the spring season when I get back to Florida.

In this case one bush would be enough to try))) I really hope it'll be on early side, not a late season variety.

How does it compare tastewise to Ildi? Thanks.

It was early to mid season for me but once it set fruit it just kept pumping them out.

The taste was somewhat comparable just with thicker skin.
