I am curious as to what others from this area have determined to be the best varieties for reliable fruiting in East Tennessee?

My own experience has been that the mysore has been my champion with the orinco, ice cream close behind. I start them in May of the first year with the target of flowering in June and July of the second year. This year I was 5 for 5 with the Mysore and I am going to broaden my trial to about 15 next year to see if I can duplicate the results.

I have read much about the Dwarf Brazilian but have never tried it. Does anyone know if there are there are any varieties that perform better here ?
