I got the first fruit 84 days after planting eight week old seedlings. The plant got to eight feet tall before I pruned it. The indeterminate plant gave a heavy yield of ten to fourteen bright orange fruits, some of which had slight green shouldering. The flavor was good and sweet with a fruity overtone.
