Positive Farmerdill On Jan 2, 2005, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote:

This is an older cultivar that I grew in the 60's and 70's as a second early. It was not among the best cultivars that I ever grew. Under my conditions in the New River Valley it was not as vigorous as EarliDawn, Pocohontas, Suwannee etc. A decent berry but not great.

Neutral smiln32 On Jan 2, 2005, smiln32 from Oklahoma City, OK (Zone 7a) wrote:

The deep-red berries are large and irregularly shaped. The plant is large, vigorous, and tolerant of drought and other environmental stresses. Berries are larger earlier in the season, which starts around Memorial Day in Southern IL. As the season progresses, the berries get smaller, but have a much fuller flavor. Plants last about 3 years.
