Comments:
2018 Slow grower this year, wasn't ready for harvest until 90 days, so I barely got any fruit. Definitely dryer than when I first grew it, but the season was probably much too short. Good variety for those in longer seasons that aren't too wet. Really nice flavour, and definitely worth growing if you have the climate for it! 2.75 lb/plant. 2012 Nice sweet taste. Can be a little finicky about its roots staying too wet - suffered a bit of rot which I believe was mostly due to a cool, wet spring/early summer. Nice orange colour, nice big fruit. Would grow again in a dryer year.
