2015 Large, bushy, tall plant. Growth and production/ripening slowed slowly in high heat (full sun 8-10hr per day, 30C temps), but kept flowering. Some blossom drop. Fruit seemed to take on a more oblate shape as the season went on. Great flavour, good production and big heart shaped fruit. Approx 9lbs per plant.
