- Indet., regular leaf, round green cherries that grow in clusters of 6-10. Fruits turn yellowish-green when fully ripe. The flavor is somewhat mild at the very beginning of the season but quickly improves to deliciously sweet.

- 80 days, indet., tall (8-10') regular leaf plants, amber-green cherries. Smaller and sweeter than Green Grape, moderate yield, midseason. Sport of Dr. Carolyn, named by Victor Schrager after a trout fly and in honor of Drs. Carolyn and Amy. Outstanding flavor for me when grown in hot, dry, sunny weather. I also grew this var in fall of '07, and while the flavor was good, taste is much better for me in Spring '08.

- Early-mid season (74 days), indeterminate. Moderate yield. Yellow skinned, green fleshed. Insipid flavor. Initial sweetness followed by an astringent alum-like after taste. Susceptible to septoria leaf spot and early blight (foliage and collar rot). Seems odd to me to call it a sport when it has 2 supposed mutations occurring - green flesh and yellow skin - compared to it's supposed sib lines of Dr. Carolyn and Dr. Carolyn Pink which lack those genes.
