Comments:
2014 Very meaty, good tasting fruit. A more mild flavour than some other brown varieties, but still with a nice flavour. I'm going to attempt a re-grow of this one, as the colouring was not like described - these were primarily brown and might be a natural cross, but the great flavour and excellent production warrant another go. 9lbs per plant.
