The fruit will turn almost orange when fully ripe. There's hardly any core or seeds. It even seemed to handle the stink bugs well.

I grew a few blue beauty's last year and I was disappointed with their flavor.. It was a huge let down as I found the fruit to be beautiful, but they were just bland to me.. Flavor is arguably the most subjective aspect of growing as we know, so hopefully you'll enjoy them!
Here's a real dark one in the background behind gonzo lol . . .
Here's a few more mixed in.. The porkchops (yellow) on the right side of the foreground were absolutely delicious.. Surely the best yellow variety I've tasted so far; although I haven't dabbled too much with the yellows..
