thanks for participating..
the fruit is greenish yellow the flesh on the inside is yellow. i have produced fruit from this type in one season(not typical in zone 8). as far as how long it may take you to produce fruit is had to say. its a good idea to start now and get the plants to about 1 or two feet before winter and expect fruit next year.. if you wait too late in the cold part of the year to germinate and try to get em to grow expect bad results (dampening off). just germinate a few and keep a few for spring.. try to get them to about 1 foot for the winter and let it stay on the dry side.
i think i may have posted a pic the first year i started x 77 i deleted the pic?? that pic showed small fruit. i removed them early because it was winter and the plant would struggle trying to support them.
again i really don't know how the plants will behave in your area.. this is kinda the point of me giving away the seed. the only thing i ask is that you show whats going on here.
