85-90 days, regular leaf, indeterminate. Weeping leaf growth, strong plant grows up to about 5.5ft. A little late for my season, but I was still able to get a reasonable harvest. Nice flavour from elongated plum-type fruits, about 190gr each. Does better in a longer season or in a greenhouse. 7.5lb per plant.
