Carolyn - I found a couple of references to Gold Fleck, one associated with thrip damage and one for a gene Gdf, referenced by TGRC. I went back and looked at the young fruit on this plant and they definitely show a pattern of random darker green flecks, which matches the Gdf description of darker green flecks changing to gold in ripe fruit. But then in addition to the gold flecks there is the scabbing. I also looked at Scabitha closely later this morning, and the pattern of dark green flecks on early/mid maturing fruit looks similar and the scabbing is starting to show on the most mature fruit, both are more pronounced than on BrandevaX. So I'm guessing now that this is a heritable trait, and I'll see if I can stabilize this "strawberry" phenotype over the next few generations.
