It's one I've been thinking about trying, but something else would have to get the axe to make room for it.
It is my current favorite due to superior disease resistance, height is decent for cutting off individual hands, flavor is very good whether eaten when freshly turned yellow or slightly over ripe. The leaves of ours are also fairly wind tolerant - though the leaves of PRGiants sweetheart look pretty tattered. It was planted at the same time as a Goldfinger and Kandarian in the same mat and has grown at double the rate. It is a nice/ stout looking plant. I do prop when fruiting due to the heavy bunch weight. Seems the most tolerant of water and fertilization fluctuations as well.
