Comments:
2023 Did SO WELL for me this year! A later variety for sure, but it was producing like crazy from mid to late August until frost killed it. It was nice to have this one producing so well when everything else was finishing off. Definitely not a dwarf plant, and has a sprawling habit so needs very good staking or caging. Mine did really well in a 7 gal pot, I grew one in a 3 gal just to see and didn't produce, so definitely needs a larger pot or in-ground growing conditions. Loves heat. Excellent canner or paste, dry flesh with very few seeds. I really got a kick out of this variety. 4 lbs/plant, average fruit 60g. 2020 Only managed to get a few seed due to bad timing of a move.
