Comments:
2020 2019 Did very well for me until the rains and cool weather started. This variety definitely seemed to like the full sun/high heat it was getting up until the end of July. When the heavy rain started then it began to abort fruit constantly. Nice flavour though, and definitely early. Will regrow again.
