I grew these this summer from seeds I received in the Nov. 2017 Seed Swap. As described, the plants stayed about 2 to 3 ft. and are producing 5" x 3" fruit as in pictures. We just cut the first 2 ripe ones to cook and there are 2 or 3 more on each of the 3 plants in our garden. I will plant these again.
