I have 5 red robin plants growing under lights indoors that are loaded with fruit. I've had 3 ripen so far and unfortunately the taste isn't anything special. Rather bland, actually. Oh well, I'll stick with it and eat them anyway just for the sake of being able to eat a vine ripened fruit this time of year.

Thanks for the informations and the good idea. I sew 3 seeds yesterday and I'm gonna give plants as Christmas gifts.

I've been noticing something
lately with my Red Robin plants ...

I planted 3 seeds in an 8inch pot ...
2 Came up ...
One is 2 inches high with short nodes rugrose leaves ...
and the other in 5 inches high with very far nodes inbetween rugrose leaves ...

They are in the same pot that I rotate every
day ... I think I have a very vigorous dwarf ?
or something else as technically they should both be growing at the same pace ~

the leaves are def. a different shape
but they are also rugose ...
I hope I get a ripe fruit from it ..
Should be interesting ~

person I traded seed with ...
