Big Ben: True to its Name
Received seed from Gary Staley from the SSE yearbook who in turn got them from Bill Minkey also a SSE listed member. A Ben Quisenberry variety, true to it's heritage it was RL but due to weather problems here in Germany the plant produced several large fruits of which none ripened on the plant so I had to take them inside to ripen. According to history Big Ben preceded Stump of the World which is the PL version of Big Ben. Here are some pictures taken today. Ami
