Has anyone planted this cherry? It seems to be loaded with anthocyanins and I've read about how pretty they are but only a few mention the flavor which is always key for me.
I am eating it right now, my very last fresh tomatoes. Was the last plant to survive few colds and still produce. Very good flavor but not outstanding. Sweet.
I grew a different one, Indigo Blue Berries. Tough study plants and the flavor is good when they turn red where the sun doesn't hit, not orange, red. They were a longer DTM than Black Cherry and Esterina (a hybrid) while I was dying to try them. They were the most prolific and were still producing into fall. I had six of them this year. Next I want to put one in an upside down thing, easier to see under them.
From another tomato discussion board we can't link to here - "Taste is not really mild but more mellow yet a fairly complex, well balanced taste."
I find them to have little to no acidic bite yet not overly sweet. An underlying smoky flavor I find in many of the black/blue varieties. But as we often say here, taste is totally subjective so YOMV,
Dave
