Congratulations. Emerald is one of my favorites. Productive, pleasant subtle taste, large berries, pretty plant.

Yup, congrats! Its just starting over here too. Getting a spatter of SH right now and Emerald is probably a week away from starting. Very low fruit set on Emerald for me this season, at least by Emerald standards. Im kinda at a crossroad with this variety. Its just not producing for me as expected due to blossom blight. Same story for the last 3 seasons with emerald. I don't know man!?!

Plants look really healthy. Do you have them in a raised bed covered by bird netting? Take a pic of your setup.
For me, Emerald is a really strong grower, resists disease very well, is a heavy producer of big berries, but the berries just don't have a lot of flavor. If it weren't for the production, I would consider putting it on the chopping block, but it is hard to say no to that yield.
