Last year I was lucky to receive a Mydwfa plant from Jayb. One of her breeding lines, still segregating. The name simply means 'My dwarf A'. It had purple stripey fruit.
This year I grew 8 plants. 2 in the greenhouse the rest outside. All with rugose foliage. The fruits on the outside plants are about to be taken indoors as they have the first bits of blight. Hope they will ripen indoors soon. The amount of fruit per plant varies from heavily loaded trusses down to a few fruit only. The size is cherry with only slight differences between the plants.
There are essentially 3 types this year - nearly solid purple, purple striped (the other colour is green but will probably turn red when ripe?) and lighter green with stripe. The dark purple type looks stunning! To get green/(red?) was a surprise.
None are ripe yet, not even in the greenhouse, but not long to go. I think the green bits might turn red.
I thought I'd upload a few pictures.
