Grower: Kelly

Year: 2015

Accession: 39

Seed Source: Purchased from commercial seed retailer.

Comments:

2015 Ripening all but stopped in hot weather, although when weather was cooler it grew quite quickly. Probably just too hot for a variety bred to grow in cooler weather in 2015 to get a good sense of growth and production. Ripened moderately well off the vine. Approx 3.5 lbs/plant.
