Rumi Banjan was a fun variety to grow. It is a good producer, but not as early as I would like for such a small-fruited variety. I didn't like the first one I tried, but I sampled a few riper fruit, and it is growing on me. The very ripest ones are definitely the sweetest. It has a unique look, and I think would be a good seller at market.

Most remarkably, the variety shows tolerance to my soil's fusarium wilt, not quite as much as the Mountain Fresh F1 next to it, but better tolerance than any OP variety I have grown in the parts of my garden that has fusarium the worst.
