All of my Edelweiss (from 2 sources) are turning a blush of red/
purple. This is really the first year that I've had a sizable number
of clusters. I find it hard to believe 2 different nurseries would
have mislabeled them. Reading thru some of Swenson's notes I see in
one place how he described that Swenson red can look like a white
grape for some people. I'm wondering if this is a similar result. Or
is it because folks pick these at a very low brix & they don't have
time to develop a blush? I'll try to get a few photos to post.
