I need to stop using this as a female parent. All crossed fruit on these plants developed BER the last two years. Even this year where I tried to pay close attention to soil moisture with it. No other fruit developed it on the three plants I am growing. Strange. I should be able to salvage some f1 seed from the fruit hopefully, but going forward may just simply use it as the male parent.

Well, as I've already spoken to mule about, I am growing two of these F1 plants and getting to different color fruits. One red and one orange. Both are very good. The red has more tartness to it. The orange fruit are slightly larger than SG and the color is slightly different as well, but still definitely orange.

Yes, heat is on here too. Plants are loving it but the dew points are in the upper 60s and higher for the rest of week. Crossing season is officially over me thinks.

In the top photo they all appear to be different colors. Is that due primarily to epidermis color or does the high pigment gene play a role? The Striped Apricot I'm growing look very similar to the fruit on the far right. More yellow/gold looking.
