Giant's Heart

Posted by Doug Nance on 2nd Jan 2024

Bought this a couple years ago and couldn't be happier with it. Great looking plant with huge berries. It's been very productive so far but the biggest thing is the taste. Of the 20 late varieties I have, it is easily the best tasting. The initial flavor is a very sweet Japanese honeyberry and then a second flavor similar to a Santa Rosa plum kicks in. Easily my favorite late variety.
