The photo was taken July 5th. So early in the growing season. These were F1 hybrid fruits They didn't develop much color even when fully ripe. I tasted them with a local plant breeder pal. Some of them were really great for sweetness, fruitiness, and aroma. Others were bleck. It looks very possible to find a variety that tastes wonderfully fruity, instead of tasting like a tomato.
The F2 generation was planted late. I harvested green fruits just before frost. They ripened on the counter and also produced seeds. Some of the F2 fruits were larger diameter. They had 4 locules instead of 2. This summer I'm intending to plant out larger populations of F2 seeds of different crosses. Also have some F3 seed to plant out.
F2: Fern X LA1777
