- Plant habit varies. Generally they are short but I am not certain if indet. or determinate. Fruit are red and a very unusual elongate shape. About 3:1 in height by width. Most are under 3" tall. Very few if any seeds so difficult to do increases. Little locular space so often dry and somewhat bland tasting.
