    Grown for the first time in 2019. The first fruits got huge, see the photo of the 24 oz one. They didn't do very well for us, although maybe they didn't like our weather. Most had very under ripe tops while the bottoms ripened up and starting to get mushy while still on the vine. They also seemed to split a lot. I brought a couple in to eat and found the texture very mealy and flavor lacking. Maybe it was too much rain for these big tender skinned varieties. The cherries and smaller slicers didn't split at all this year.
