| Very disease prone and weak vines can't take winds and storms. The few that ripened were very full rich flavor, but most never made it to harvest, and those picked blush were not very flavorful by comparison. These were also very sensitive to heat, with production dropping to nil throughout the summer heat. Might work in a more mild climate, but definitely not rugged. these had a very thin delicate skin, which was good if picked ripe and eaten immediately, but stored very short life an rapid loss of quality. |
