Puerto Rico, United States
Comment: Seven year genetic improvement by field yield trial. A selection of elite plants has been made, producing a maximum of 36 fruits with 3 hands per cluster followed by 25 to 30 fruits from two-handed bunches with a minimum of 10 to 15 fruits. Fruits are 3 to 4 inches in diameter and 15 inches long. Currenly its not recomended for farmers production due to lack of consistency. In addition, management is very intensive mainly due to fragile establsiment. However, it has a high quality in the culinary area: flavor, color and texture.
