I wonder if this could possibly turn out to be a somatic mutation? Any thoughts? Both of these fruit were produced on a plant of Black Krim where all other fruit were normal size with exception to these two fruit that were produced on the same branch.  |

Interesting! First time I planted Black Krim in 2008, only the early fruits of the small cluster/branches of 2-3 fruits were full size... The rest of them, almost all were 2-3" in diameter, with only occasional, full size fruits popping in every so often.
Regards,

I haven't grown Black Krim before BV. So are these smaller than average is that it? I really can't imagine it is a mutation. Mutations of any kind are tremendously rare. It is most likely just an environmental anomaly possibly caused by poor pollination considering the fruit appear just as they should except for relative size. This is only a guess on my part however. I am not an expert.
