Anne, different experience here to consider.

I also grew Super Sioux a few years ago, and thank you for reminding me, because I want to grow it again. LOVED it!! Thumbs up Thumbs up

This might be an example of how different varieties behave under different conditions. I chose Super Sioux because it was reputed to withstand hot dry summers, and I grew it in a 5-gallon pot. It not only made it through the hottest part of the summer with flying colors (a noteworthy accomplishment), it continued bearing lovely mid-sized fruit into fall even after an early frost.

This photo was taken October 31, so it must have provided fruit into November... extremely uncommon in these parts.
