So this doesn't seem to me to be all that different a concept from the way OSU Blue works using anthocyanins, but thought it was interesting. Dark looking fruit on that plant.

Okay....those seem way darker than any of the OSU pictures I've seen so far. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Here's a very long thread about it from last year but this variety has been in the works for many years. I didn't read the above thread again, but I know that when OSU first got into the hands of some, before P20, that at the time, and this was several years ago, folks were talking about OSU as being conventionally bred, the UK one being a GMO and the one in Italy at the time folks weren't sure but it looks like just two parents and selections made and not a GMO. There are some excellent pictures of this Italian one in the above link.
