Overview
Gardeners will find that Quedlinburger Fruhe Liebe is a potato-leaf, open-pollinated heirloom reported to come from a town near coastal Germany and to do well in cool, damp climates, though one grower found it thrived in record heat and drought too. The plant is unusual: widely spaced open branching with far fewer leaves than typical, and stems and foliage thickly coated in trichomes that leave yellow on your hands. Fruit is bright red, larger than a cherry but a bit smaller than Early Girl, in clusters of four to six, ripening well before Early Girl and continuing nonstop. Flavor is sweet and low in acid. Indeterminate vines outgrow a 6-ft cage.
