Carmine Jewel will flower in the South

Romeo replacement from 2 years ago flowered heavily and set about 15 fruit. I had my first under-ripe one two days ago and was impressed-good flavor, even though tart. I knew it was under-ripe by the color but wanted a sample before some animal decided it was ripe enough. I’m trying to let the remaining 6 or 7 fruit get to that really dark color before harvesting.

I am always surprised how late they flower and how quickly they ripen. It is one of the last fruits to flower but the first to ripen.
