At maturity the very dark green rind becomes nearly black and protects red juicy fine-textured sweet flesh. Fruit reaches approximately 18–20 cm in diameter and generally weighs 3.5–4.5 kg. Its size chills easily and suits small families, snacks, fruit salads, and summer desserts.  The selection contains approximately 25 organic seeds, allowing several plants to be started while retaining only vigorous seedlings with undisturbed roots.  The compact size also simplifies chilling and serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart plants three to four weeks before transplanting in individual pots so roots are not disturbed. Keep mix warm, then transplant only after frost risk once soil exceeds approximately 21°C and nights are mild. Choose full sun and deep fertile very well-drained soil, then space plants to let vines run. Maintain even moisture during establishment, flowering, and early fruit enlargement; reduce excess watering near maturity.  Gradual hardening reduces transplant shock, while black mulch or a warm south-facing mound can help the root zone reach a suitable temperature.  Mulch helps preserve moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety matures in approximately 76 days and generally produces one or two fruit per plant. The selection contains approximately 25 seeds. Vines reach 30–40 cm tall and spread 1.5–2 m. To judge ripeness, watch the tendril nearest the fruit as it browns and dries and the ground spot as it changes from greenish white to cream-yellow. Cut the stem instead of pulling the fruit.  Wash the rind thoroughly before cutting, use clean utensils, chill prepared portions promptly, and discard any fruit showing fermentation, mould, or an abnormal odour.
