| This is not really a bush variety, it has tendrils and I have grown it as a climbing plant (four feet long or so). It is an old commercial variety (probably for garderners?). The fruits are small (1.5 X 5 in at the mature seedy stage), like most pickling types, and early. You need to pick often, as they mature quickly and can get seedy which is not desirable for most recipes for dill pickles (there are still many things you can make with them however). They have relatively low bitterness also - even with age. |
