Harvested a bunch of fruit on Saturday. Many of them are monsters. I should have put something in the pic below for scale.

I cut open one I harvested on Thursday to get seeds for F2 hunting...ZERO SEEDS! What the heck? Was a smaller one, maybe 6 ounces.
Picked a bunch on Saturday.
Cut 2 open. The first had ZERO SEEDS!. Again, a smaller one, maybe 6 ounces. All meat, but really good texture.
The second was a biggie, over a pound. Finally, some seeds, but very few seeds.
Locules and gel/seeds are close to the outside of the fruit around the perimeter of the fruit.
I'll do a pic tonight of a dissected one.
Taste was very good, but not as much bite/acid as the Yellow Brandywine parent. A little more mild. Texture and mouth feel are excellent.
Still pleased overall even though I think taste testers would pick the Yellow Brandywine for flavor. And, it is a really neat conversation piece with family, friends and colleagues.
Plus, the F2 hunting fun is yet to come...
