My Sinister Minister seems to be a green offtype of the not stable Sinister Minister. I saw the "true" in late summer in the garden of Astrid Storm. The last two pictures were from fruits of her plant.

Seed source:

Reinhard Kraft, Neukirchen, Germany

Year grown: 2013

Location: Lohsa, Germany

History

Developed by Blane Horton of PKS South from Black Plum X Sweet Beverley cross, a sister line to Reverend Michael Keyes. It was selected from the Reverend Michael Keyes in the F3 generation.
May not have been completely stable when the seeds were released, so other growers observed some variations. Blane Horton, the breeder, says that "The correct color should have the yellow epidermis with a brownish maroon finish".
