Comments:
2024 I decided to grow this one again, because while I saved a good amount of seed, the germination rate was extremely low and I don't know why. It was around 15% when I tested. So I'm growing a few more this year to save. 2023 This was a nice little stout plant with rugose leaves. My original plant died for mysterious reasons, so my neighbour who I gifted a few to gave me one of theirs. Because of the very late transplant, I have no idea what the actual maturity or yield might be like. The plant is funny though because it naturally has curling leaves like its sickly, but that's just how it grows. Very smooth, round orange fruit. Not too juicy, it's a nice slicer. I'll grow this one again.
