This is on my 206.1 from '17 (20 Gerry (Prizewinner X 689.5 Sandercock) X Self);
It seeeeeeeems to have a propensity (tendency) to have a ribbon vine characteristic on
at least part of the plant, where the rest and in most cases it grows normally---with an added flair
for extra female blossoms very close together and an all-around, expectable zest for oddity (!).
I've been 'trying' to grow this for years but had always saved it for last, then ran out of room or whatever
due to its smaller-sized fruits expected, but deep, reddish-orange examples appeared in probably '18 or '19.
Anyway, this fruit here started out growing 100% vertically and without my permission began tilting the weigh
that it did and I've been happy with it ever since!
Oh that color! Yum-kin!
Ahem...My other one is growing more normally with no ribbon-vining.
Not to worry. Even the seeds have a satiny, swirly edge coating that is beautiful and unique.
Too bad about the 6 years they've been waiting---eg
