Despina

B.C KO T

F2 generation (2008): indet., regular leaf, purple/black elongated small plum, 1-2 oz, 1.5 oz average weight, not many seeds, late to ripen.

F3 generation (2009): Continues to segregate, 6 regular leaf (60%) and 4 potato leaf (40%) seedlings. The fruits are round, and closer to the original Purple Haze hybrid in shape and color. Very nice firm texture, nice balance of acidic and sweet flavors. Some green shoulders. It is certainly worth further dehybridizing.
