Cut cross-sections are perfectly round and resemble little wagon wheels. 55 days to maturity. Average water needs.

Plants begin bearing when about a feet tall and will continue until frost if kept picked. For best flavour, harvest the fruit at 10-15cm long. Propagation notes will be supplied with a seed packet.
