- Indet., regular leaf plants. Fruits are green-when ripe, with the light green color matching Aunt Ruby's German Green, but the size is much smaller - you can call it a large cherry or a small saladette. Clear epidermis. Fruits are round and slightly oblate. Very good taste, one of the better tasting green cherries, but it ripens later than the most other cherries, and not as high yielding. 1-2.5 oz.

- 76 days, indet, RL, good production of slightly oblate, green-when-ripe(clear epidermis), cherry-sized fruit (0.75-1 oz) with a distinct pink blossom end blushing when fully ripe and darker green shoulders. I have not seen any evidence of instability since growing it for the first time in 2008. Grew out true in 2009 from my own saved seed from 2008. This is easily the best tasting Green-When-Ripe cherry. Far better than Green Grape which I find to be a spitter. Ripe fruit is somewhat late and not as prolific as other cherries.
