Huge yields, even though the plants end up looking ratty as the fruit ripens. I eat what I can, freeze the rest either whole of cut in two.

Grew again in 2007, fruits much bigger this year. Started my own plants from seed (new purchased seed) instead of buying transplants. I like the fruits very well for paste.

They produced abundantly and reliably through the season. My only regret is that I didn't try overwintering some plants to get cuttings for this spring, as the local nurseries didn't stock them this year.

Mediocre taste. Will not plant again.
