Not to be over picky, but there is no such thing as a "hybrid" heirloom. One of the things that makes a heirloom a heirloom is the fact that they are open pollinated.Hybrids of course are not. I believe if you look at the ad it says its a hybrid with "heirloom" taste. We have trialed a few of these hybrids that are supposed to taste like the old varieties and found they look good but dont match up in flavor. That said, what they lack in flavor they make up for in fruit production as well as disease tolerance. Looks interesting anyway.
The tall one wants white toast, dry, with nothin' on it.
And the short one wants four whole fried chickens, and a Coke.
