 o
any comments on some small/cherry types?

I've been starting to look over the Selected Plants listings, and I either couldn't find any or enough info or would just like to know other gardeners' comments on the following small fruited types: (larger fruit questions will come later, I'm sure)

Black Krim Cherry
Catherine Simms
Cherry Traveller
Dove Cherry/grape
Guernsey Pink Blush
Helleperle
Japanese Golden Pear
Orange PL Cherry
Oval Crunch
Pasture cherry
Peruvian bush
Rainbow bicolor cherry
razzleberry X sweet quartz
reistomate
rose quartz multiflora
sunrise
sweet thing grape
tomatoberry
yellow submarine

also, is the Dr. Carolyn Pink a pl or rl and is it as vigorous and productive as Galina's?

and what is the difference between the purple haze and the purple haze f2?

In your opinion, if you had to pick about 6 for flavor (no whites or yellow pear- too bland) and production which would you choose?

Currently, I lean toward the purple haze and black cherry (a favorite with us) to start with, possibly ildi. I was hoping to find Gardener's Delight in the list for a highly productive smallish red fruit, is there anything similar in the Selected Plant list?

Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.selectedplants.com/

RE: any comments on some small/cherry types?

Not on your list above, but on the Selected Plants cherry list are Matt's Wild and Peacevine Cherry. I think both seem to fill the same niche as Gardener's Delight; Peacevine having some interesting traits, higher vitamin C and amino acid levels. I read somewhere that it's an OP version of Sweet 100, which I also think has similarities to Gardener's Delight. I'm not familiar with most of his list, so someone else may offer better, but I'm growing Peacevine next year. It's supposed to be calming and I have kids here all summer long. ;)
