If you mean Medovaya Kaplya, it is fantastic and very sweet.
Different from Sungold though.

The correct name is Medovaya Kaplya, which translated to English is Honey Drop. Below I've linked to Tania's page about it and I was the one to introduce it via a listing in the SSE Yearbook in 2010 and also offering it for several years in an annual offer I do elsewhere.,my seeds from Andrey in Belarus, as you can see from the info on that page.

Tania woujld prefer that all varieties, where appropriate, be referred to with their transliterations, aka Medovaya Kaplya, few are those who could spell it in Russian

it's become a very popular variety and is nothing like Sungold F1 based on fruit shape, see the pictures at Tania's page, as well as taste. I know Sungold F1 very well and Medovaya Kaplya and Sungold are two entirely different varieties.

So why not go ahead and try it, it might surprise you. ( smile)
