Planted this plant in a hanging coir basket this year. Was extremely disappointed in the growth of this variety. The plants grew to only about 8 - 10 inches long. The fruits that did grow were very thick skinned and only so-so in the flavor department. Might try it again next year in a hanging basket just to see if it was the actual plant that had a problem or not.
