It's absolutely gorgeous, and I'll grow it out anyways, but I wish I knew what it was, and I wish it *was* the right thing. I'd never actually seen the fruit, just wanted the strain for its historical significance. Darn, back to square one.

Yes, just a few miles west. I appreciate the offer & will be in touch. The pic in my sig is looking towards Maysville from our farm. If I looked in the other direction I would be looking down at Ripley.

I grew it in BC about three years ago, it was definitely not striped it was about 6 ounces,It was round and definitely pink. I used it as a canner as I had a lot of them and they were the best candidate I had for canning that year and it canned vey well.

Grown here in Nebraska, mine were also solid pink, solid fruit with solid flavor. They were a bit larger, 12 ounce average with the largest at a whopping 24 ounces. The next couple of years they were a little smaller but still solid.

It looks like it could be a Skyreacher. New offering from TSC this year.
I'm trying it this year. ![]() |
