I harvested the fruit from Orange b F2 plant 1 today. It weighed 2.9 ozs (the parent produced a fruit of max 1.4 ozs). Definately beffsteak inside, not much gell and seeds. Color-Orange outside bicolor inside(like its parent, but with a more solid pink color than radiating red). Flavor very good, maybe 7.5 out of 10. A little bit tart around the seed locules for my taste, but the flesh was somewhat sweet and pleasant. I am hoping that this segrate behaves as sun gold with respect to flavor.....with sungold if you pick the fruit a little early when they are not perfectly deep orange, you don't get the intense burst of flavor. This fruit was a little under ripe, so I am hopeing the flavor will improve, and at dead ripenes we get a boost in sugar. Also, texture 10 out of 10, meaty juicy and firm. Sorry no pics, I was borowwing the digital camera for the last pics I posted.... got to buy one soon.
