Excel
Any suggestions as to which ones would perform well in a mild summer climate? I have Desert King and Osborne Prolific so far and they're fine. |

| Black Jack has ripened well for me the past 5 years in my semicoastal mild summer climate. I just got a Peter's Honey rooted cutting this spring which is already growing about a dozen figlets, probably to ripen by November--it's looking like a winner so far, I'll post you when they mature as to how they taste. (this summer the temps have mostly hovered in the high 60s to low 70s, and it looks as if the fall weather is going to be much the same) |
