Are Flemish Beauty and Parker really the same? I have seen lots of places
list both -- I have Parker growing (fruit for the first time this year if
it doesn't all wash away ....). If true, this will save me the bother of
buying another Flemish Beauty since the last one croaked. It had not
fruited so I don't have a way to check.
