Only 10 seeds/pack, so I'll try to increase my seed supply.


Note: can't search this at TV -- says "Roussollini" is too long. Tat. has no info.

My friend Google says this

Be sure to check out the comments at Dave's Garden.

I looked at his picture of the fruits,which looked red to me,not orange, and with that wee protrusion at the blossom end and from Italy it sure looks like Roi Umberto, aka King Humbert, and there are several threads here at Tville about that topic already/

Also from Tania

Lastly, you say it looks red,as it does to me but he says that it is oranage.


Carolyn, who, after reading about a few others here at Tville who have referred to him would proceed cautiously methinks.
