Ozark Sunset
Actually, this variety is in the blue/purple class but it gets too complicated. This is a smallish fruited type that will often times stun you with its production. The coloration is unusual and pretty. The top of the fruit will be rather darkish blue/purple shading down to a pinkish red at the bottom. Each fruit is a bit different and coloration depends on several things as I have found. The cooler it is, the bluer it is! We grew these as a Fall crop and wow! So very intense was the blue color along with the white(unripe) bottoms. That, combined with an absurd amount of fruit on the plant that it was toppling over from the weight was quite a sight. The flavor is pretty mild in Summer, in Fall it is more intense. The fruit seems to average about 2oz.-4 oz. or so- not big, but there sure were a lot of them! Grow this one and it will certainly catch your gardening friends attention. Created by Double Helix Farms in Conroe, Ar.
