One of the interesting discussions this year was about the association between the amount of green in the unripe fruit and the best taste. It was Frogsleap who observed and commented about this in his blog. I had some doubts, but in the final analysis, all of my best tasting fruit had a lot of dark green in the unripe stage, so indeed it does seem to be a good 'tell'.
These are pictures of Rodney ripening. It almost looks like a striped fruit - but there are no stripes in the parentage. The red siblings in the same cross had much less green (of course no gf) but they really were unremarkable.
