Very good flavour. If allowed to fully ripen, they become more sweet but less flavoursome. Grows to about 1m high . Recommended.

Was growing really well. I had heaps of fruit in the first year.Then I dropped a piece of wood on it and broke it at the base. Woops

This is supposed to be a good backyard variety and will cross pollinate with the other varieties I already have planted.
