Comments:
2015 Hearty plant - didn't burn like the rest of the plants did with sudden high heat in early spring, but flowering slowed right down, and there was pretty significant blossom drop. Didn't end up harvesting too much fruit because of this. Has a nice mild, but somewhat peppery flavour. Meaty and sweet. Approx 5.5 lb/plant.
