At it’s best, I think it’s one of the best, but it depends on location a great deal. Tom Burford said to me once that it used to be one of the best performing varieties in VA until it got too warm. It needs to ripen in cool weather, apparently, and in well drained soil to reach highest quality. Even in NY, in wet soils it can be mediocre.
It ripens over a long period and needs to be picked right before it drops for immediate eating, but sooner for storage.
