B.C KO T
- indet., very tall regular leaf vines with high yield of medium/large red cherries that are intensely sweet; it seems to get even sweeter in the early October, when the weather gets cold; fruit has firm crunchy flesh and keeps well on the vine, outstanding flavor, some cracking occurs in wet weather; the last plant that I pulled in 2007 produced until mid-October. I found it being sweeter than SunGold in October; I did not compare these two earlier in the 2007 season.
