There are up to 6 fruits in a single cluster. I picked about 20 ripe so far. It is tough to get them in the house. Somehow they wind up eaten.

Carolyn, Keith did not send me seed. I picked the fruit from the plant in Keith's back yard in 2009, with his permission. Segregation has been atrocious. Only one of those roughly 200 seed made a plant that produced something similar to the right flavor. I'm up to F5 now and it is starting to be consistent. A couple more generations of single plant selection should show if this one is stable.

Keith is working with a sibling line that he has been growing out and selecting. His is probably nearer stable than mine, I think he is up to F6 or F7 by now.
