Posted by farmerdill (Augusta Georgia - Zone 8a) on Jul 6, 2015 8:16 AM This is a large-fruited hybrid, which is quite prolific. Fruits are oval, 4-6 inches in diameter, and deep purple. Large stout plant which reaches upward of 3 feet. Sturdy, as it holds up the big fruits well. [ Reply to this comment | |
