For the most part, I got fruit from all and there was not a huge difference in the fruit color or size. I have yet to do a real taste test difference.
At this point, I am going to try to get another set of fruit out of each plant. I am doing this by stripping out the dead leaves. Below are before and after pictures of each.
Sample Before and After stripping of dead leaves.
Bush Beefsteak (purchased from Farmers Market)
Thin stalks with some flowers
Homestead (purchased from Home Depot)
Huge plant with lots of flowers and some small fruit
Husky Red (purchased from Farmers Market)
Thick stalks with few leaves and no new flowers
Big Boy (purchased from Home Depot)
Large plant with lots of flowers
Bush Early Girl (purchased from Farmets Market)
Thick stalks with few leaves and no new flowers
