I often chuckle at all the questions that we ask each other about these fruit and there problems. But if you think of these plants as if they were mankind what mess we would be creating. We only breed the biggest, strongest,fastest,heartiest plants.In hopes they will grow bigger,thicker,heavier fruit. All the while since the germination of the seeds we are poping them with steriods, getting'em all hopped up on tea and them feeding them like they were pigs. Add to that when we get a plant to do what we like,we then inbreed. Now when you think about it that way....I suppose it would be like trying to breed Shaquille O'Neal and Rosie Odonnell and expecting to end up with good results for future generations!!!! LOL
