These were the varieties sown on the programme last week and descriptions given:
Rosado
Cordon, mini plum, lovely flavour, very sweet and very prolific.
Koralik
Bush variety, brand new variety from Poland, vigorous and reputed to be completely resistant to blight.
Sungold
Cordon, yellow, super sweet, classic, grows indoors or out.
Black Russian
Gourmet, heritage beefsteak, purple to black skin and reddish green flesh.
Can’t be grown outdoors, will need to be in a greenhouse.
Apero
Cordon, baby plum, good flavour combination, sweet and acidic.
So 2 of my choices are there – Rosado and Sungold. And I’ll be really interested to see what happens with Koralik . If it’s genuinely completely blight resistant it’ll become an extremely popular variety in next to no time.
