@murky … I doubt I will be doing any experiments with goumi seedlings.
I would just rather go fishing with my extra time.
I do think that I already have perhaps a superior seedling in my Red Gem… my red gem berries are much larger than any others that I have seen here… and it seems to be the first goumi in the country to ripen fruit. It taste very good too.
My sweet scarlet is tiny… about half the size of my red gem… and ripens much later. When my sweet scarlet starts ripening… i have raspberries and a few mulberries ripening too. I dont eat a lot of the SS berries because better fruit is ripening. It taste very similar to my red gem.
On my new Carmine air layer bush in my new orchard… i will definately add several grafts of my red gem and will add some raintree select… but will not add sweet scarlet.
