Pete and Scott: Thank you for posting very nice photos. Can you two, please share the healthy, leaf photos of the Col De Dame Blanc? Thank you. 

Best,

Hi Tam,

Here are three shots of leaves, Mother tree, one year old cutting, new cutting. CDD blanc UC Davis/USDA Wolfskill origin.

Hi Pete,

  Both of them are really good. To my taste, here. CDD has a wonderful berry jam taste, straight, bright berry. Black Madeira also has berry elements, I think the taste is more complex.  I'm not sure I can describe it well. Berry with a little port wine taste, maybe. I wouldn't turn either one down. I like the way you let your CDD fully ripen to get the best flavor. A lot of the flavor develops in the last couple of days.

thanks scott, your tree is much cleaner than mine. this yr, all my trees are showing significant issues than the last yr. maybe due to so much rain.

Scott: Thank you very much.

Best,
Tam
