Comments:
2018 Much better yield this year! I grew in ground and in large containers, and the in-ground plants definitely did much better in terms of growth and fruit production. Very tasty fruit, irregular, with a tart but well rounded flavour. Excellent fruit set, with minimal blossom drop with our high heat. Large fruit, benefits from caging or very strong staking. 8 lb/plant. 2015 I grew this a previous year and had a much better yield, so I'm not sure if it was just a bummer seedling, or perhaps the lower humidity (I last grew it in Victoria, BC). Tart and meaty fruit. Blossom drop in high heat. Approx 3.5 lb/plant.
