Easily a 9.5 out of 10. It was sweet, with a richness that was surprising, and just a little tomato flavor. I am going to start giving this one special treatment to try to nurse more fruit out of it. It was nearly heart shaped, red-with purple shoulders. Here is a picture of an unripe fruit from the same plant, I will post a picture when it ripens. I saved seeds and have them fermenting now.
That is great news!. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, the F2 that seed came from was one of the best tasting I have ever grown. I hope we can keep that taste and get it stable. What was the growth habit of that plant?
