It was totally green when I went on vacation. I watered it heavily beforehand knowing I would be away a couple weeks. Got back and boom, ready to eat! Not sure if it was because the soil got a bit dry. Smells very good.

Historywise, the bud started to emerge in June 2025. The plant was about 1.5 or so years old.

    That makes sense. Also a smaller fruit would theoretically be getting more energy from the plant and maybe develop more sugars?

      Maybe. But usually the offspring would be getting as big as the mother on their own if they weren’t competing with their clos by siblings for nurtientds, water and light.

      I don’t know wether the ‘thrid generation’s the sweetest’ story is true… we need an expert to confirm this I guess. :D
