VDB  breba is a pretty good start, taste was somewhat milder than main crop but very nice

Barry,

     Very nice. No VDB brebas for me, but it survived the winter and is showing a main crop, so I am not complaining. How did you shelter yours over the cold season?

Dale, I keep most of my trees in the garage. It's attached to my home so not too cold
