Grower: Kelly

Year: 2015

Accession: 104

Seed Source: Received from private donor.

Comments:

2015 Low production - might have been overcrowded, but what did produce was a beautiful and tasty fruit. Might do better in a container (versus in ground) with some richer soil - will attempt another grow out in a future year. Only 2 lb/per plant.
