I grew it twice and never got anything even up to a pound. It could be the heat causing them to ripen too soon or it could have been the fusarium which stunts most plants early in their development.

I don't really grow for size but I do love having a few to show off each season. I like to weigh them and take a photo of them and then they usually get cut up and tossed in the sauce pot. I find anything over a pound to be kinda impractical for most uses; but they are fun to look at as they grow and mature.
