How to choose
Trellis spacing
Start with the spacing column, then adjust for trellises, pruning, containers, rootstock, or local extension guidance.
Slicing versus pickling
Compare the profiles side by side, then use the ZIP matcher for local zone, sun, soil, and water ranking.
Days to maturity
Use first output and return ranges as comparison signals. Weather, soil, pests, and cultivar source can move real harvests.
