Well, I live in zone 9, if that helps any, and have grown Sequoia for
years. It is a softer berry with very good, sweet, taste. This year I
added a bed of Chandler which a berry farm down the road plants. The
berries are also very good but a little firmer than the Sequoias. I
haven't gotten any berries yet, but they were planted in November and
they have been producing runners like crazy. They have already filled in
the bed! I also planted Seascape which is a very sweet berry but also
very firm. It keeps wonderfully. It isn't as juicy as the other two but
seems to be sweeter (even when picked a little early).
