I dug the seed for this variety out of the "Breeder's Box" archives and I'm I ever so glad I did!
Trusses and trusses of perfect, 1 to 3 ounce, orangey-tangerine plum-shaped fruits that didn't bat an eye at my completely neglected 2024 garden. They started early and kept producing until the bitter end. Very good flavor leaning a bit more on the acid side to my taste buds.
This would be the perfect variety for salad lovers - especially caparese salads!
