Really liked this variety. Indet, grew it outdoors. Didn’t transplant it out into the dirt until late June, but it still managed to ripen 3 trusses. Considering the weather we had this summer, I count that as a great result. Extremely disease resistant, I didn’t spray it a single time all season, basically just let it fend for itself. Fruits ran about 7 to 9 oz (200-250 g). Really enjoyed the flavor.

Extremely resilient to all kinds of weather, a very low-maintenance and gorgeous exotic variety. It was one of the very few that didn’t die off after a September night frost and just kept right on producing. Indeterminate, the vine reached about 4 feet (1.2 m) outdoors. Great Yellow Blue.
