Even in the humid areas of our country you have to divide it into warm humid areas, such as Georgia, and cool humid areas such as, Tennessee and Virginia. We know that Leon Burk, Silverhill and Tigertooth do well in Georgia. Sui Men was adapted to the Tennessee Valley Authority and is apparently do well there. Admiral Wilkes was found in Washington D.C. and apparently do well there. Lang is doing very well in the humid southeast costal area of Texas. Other people know of other varieties that are doing well for them in other areas.

For your area in PA have you tried Admiral Wilkes or Sui Men? Sui Men would be worth a try and it is has fairly good fruit. As I have stated you just have to find the variety that fits you niche as the Chinese have over many years.

Richard,

 

Would you be able to indicate what varieties you believe would do well

(or at least 'do better') in humid areas?

 

Thanks,
