Thank FD, but that is a different Marconi. There may be a connection in the parentage though.I didn't see much about its history with a quick search. The plant I wanted to grow is a hybrid. It was a 2001 AAS (All America Selections) winner. It is supposed to be earlier to ripen than the OP Marconi. I grow several different strains of the OP Marconi, but they all seem to ripen very late despite some of the hot summers we had recently.

A few sellers have the FI, but the seed is advertised as treated (prefer seeds that will ve viable for the future) I'm wondering if there are any other opinions on the F1 as to taste and production.
