Terry, I referred to you in the initial post about Surpriz that already has several responses. Above is the general Google search where i found you.

But your here now and Please tell me about a variety called Surprise that Craig might have b'c you're the second person to ask that.The first reference I can find for the variety Surpise is in the 2006 SSE Yearbook, a variety bred in italy, the parentage is given, sent to Australia and then to this person in CA.

And is the red section of the Yearbook.

Thanks Carolyn. The info I got on Craig's Surprise came from Ventmarin. http://ventmarin.free.fr/passion_tom...ates_sl_sz.htm

I saw that same listing and ASAP igonored it b'c it's really referring to Turkey Chomp, which I suppose Craig at one time called it a "surprise" when he first grew it out and Turkey Chomp, bred by Donald Branscomb is very similar to Lutescent, nee Honor Bright, and nothing like the pictures shown in the links I gave in the initial post I did for Surpriz.

Where did you get your seeds from given the info above in the original thread here about no trades b/c it isn't on the list, and what was it like for you as grown by you compared to the pictures at Tomodori and elsewhere that show something very different from Turkey Chomp which shows a succession of ripeness from white to green to yellow to orange to red so that fruits of all different colors are on the plant at one time and all ripen up red as bred by Don Branscomb. And the foliage is a sickly yellow.

Terry, please see the post by Loulac in the original thread I started.

it does clarify some issues of concern.

Thanks,
