My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What varieties

14 years ago

I have two plants that I thought were the same but are giving different fruits. Any help in identification would be appreciated.

The smaller fruit on the left is about 1" diameter when ripe and a pale purple color. They had time to ripen here in NY and I have been enjoying them.

The one on the right is about twice the size and a nice deep burgundy color. The tree is full of small hard fruits and only a couple made it to maturity, I fear the rest will not have time to ripen.

I may have to rethink the best varieties for southern NY as my trees all fruited but more than half will not have time to ripen.

thanks,

Rob
