Rare, unknown old variety. Very productive, bushy, smaller plants than other varieties-approx 30-40cm but with very much braches. The color of the fruit varies. The fruits are partly pure yellow, partly purple, some also green, and others glassy yellow or yellow with a purple tinge. The fruits have a sweet, fruity taste.
Sowing Instructions: Can be sown at any time of year except early to mid-summer. Sow on the surface of moist, well-drained seed compost and sprinkle compost over the seeds as light is beneficial to germination. Place in a propagator or seal in a polythene bag and maintain a temperature of about 20C. Germination should take from 1-3 weeks and as the seedlings emerge, gradually increase ventilation by opening the bag or propagator vents.
