Skipper is a tough plant, could be good for outdoors
I put two of the Skippers in an extension of the spruce rail shelter, with no overhead support and nothing but a board around to keep from tipping of their pots and cages. This is a bit of a frost pocket and they really got the worst of it, but kept on setting and stayed pretty healthy. The plants are sturdier and less prone to foliage disease than the Black Nipper parent. The pink-black fruit is delicious. Larger fruit than the siblings may be just a side effect of being outdoors and bombarded with bumblebee action. Or perhaps there will be more variation than I think, in the F3.
