Default Supersweet 100 F2

I have a few supersweet 100 volunteers that are setting fruit, they seem to be true to the original but I haven't tasted one yet.

What should I expect? I'm sure this happens all the time.

Above is some background info about Supersweet F1 and also via Google another thread from here at Tville where it was noted that Gardener's Delight is one parent.

Almost all long truss varieties such as Supersweet F1 and others have genetic input from a red currant as well, b'c that gene is responsible for the flat truss trait.

So if you have more that one volunteer plant you should see some differences between them due to gene segregation, I would imagine.
