A historical delicacy! This old variety produces round, slightly ribbed fruits that ripen from white to a deep lavender-purple. The skin is softest when harvested young. The tasty flesh has a compact texture. There are few seeds in the fruits. Expect 8-10 fruits per plant; outdoor cultivation has good chances.
