Very small plant (6 inches tall), 54 days in a cool Michigan summer, very good production of very small (2-5 gram) fruit with pointed tips, decent but not exceptional flavor. Easily grown in a 6” diameter pot, could easily be grown in a window box. This is more an interesting novelty than a culinary variety.
