Reached about 6.5 ft (2 m) tall in greenhouse beds. Fruits are pointy, elongated plum saladettes, weighing up to 3.5 oz (100 g), striped with metallic shades over a raspberry-pink base.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcc8 <strong>Yield:<\/strong> Mixed results heavily tied to climate. Experienced growers in the Moscow area (Zone 4) logged high yields with full, tightly loaded clusters. In harsher or damper short-season climates (Zone 2\/3 Siberia and Zone 5 Northwest), productivity dropped off drastically.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Taste:<\/strong> Requires steady heat to shine. With adequate warmth and sun, growers report a tasty profile with noticeable sweetness and a lively acid kick. When pulled early and forced to ripen off the vine, it turns bland and loses its sugar content entirely.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udce6 <strong>Storage:<\/strong> Long shelf life.
