Mid-sized plant, about 3 ft (1 m) tall, mid-season (maybe even mid-late). Fruits are oval-shaped, looking exactly like a goose egg in both size and shape, very smooth. They stay green but get covered in thick dark green and pink streaks, weighing 3.5-5.3 oz (100-150 g).<\/p>\n<p>Wasn&#8217;t blown away by the flavor, to be honest.
