(Unless you specify differently, on orders of 2-5 plants one will be male. Orders of 6-10 plants, two will be males, etc. If you would like a different ratio, please let us know.) The female plants produce fruit. The male plants do not produce fruit. Low chill variety that is hardy in colder areas.
