Of all the threads you have brought back to life, this one should have the most relevance to a lot of members. One should note that just because a plant is a short cycle in south Florida, does not mean the results will be the same in my zone 8. Some of these plants need more heat to get them going in the spring than others. So if short cycle plant "A" needs more heat than plant "B", in a lower zone there cycle could be close to the same. We should remake this thread by zones. Members from each zone can report on which plants fruit the best with their growing season. Then future new members could be more selective on the plants they grow. I have one plant that I know I will probably never get fruit from, a Tall Red also called a Morado. It would have to flower early spring to get ripe fruit mid winter. Only reason I grow that plant is so I can see if it will get 18 feet tall in my zone. And it looks cool. Thanks for knocking the dust off this thread.
