Ottawan,
sometimes as you know i type long story and once in a while what happens is i lose the signal and have to start all over again yes i know what you mean. The cancel button im not sure i think it was there before just not absolute on that.
Nelson,
i have been looking for a few more that are supposed to be on the cold hardy side for me and have obtained a fewlate last year and this spring now im done just have to wait a few years to see how the new ones actually grow in my climate and taste also to see if there to my likeing.
Negretta is one of them yes this is what i have read on several different sites
A wild type that’s very drought resistant; it’s normally a small bushy tree in form; bears heavily; the fruits are black, small, thin skin, red pulp, very sweet and sought after. It ripens starting from August 15 in Genova. This variety is placed in areas suited to no other purpose, e.g. on the edges of fields or on hillsides with rocky, poor soil due to its incredible resistance to drought and cold. Negretta has a single crop over a short period.
I figure 3 years total and i get a gauge on taste and growth habit, so far this year it wanted to grow slow upwards and faster sideways. I like to grow more tree form habit so i trimmed side branches except for a few to start to shape it and now its starting to grow better upwards just not as fast as my other small plants.
