taste good COOKED. That means it takes a bit more effort to compare clones. I suppose the named selections, being tetraploid, were selected for making bigger fruit? Did the wild selections have small fruit?"

The wild plants produced a variety of sizes of fruit whereas the named varieties produced fruit of a more uniform size. The average size of wild fruit is smaller but some fruits are as large as the tetraploid's.
