Dark Stripes

Dark Stripes (often listed as Dark Stripe Micro) is a dramatic micro/mini dwarf noted for trusses of bicolored, chocolate-brown fruits banded with olive-green streaks. Compact plants carry long, multiflora clusters and can set dozens of fruit on a very short frame, making it a showpiece for containers. Fruits are plum-to-ogive shaped, usually 15–30 grams, with a rich, sweet-tangy flavor that stands up in salads and roasts beautifully. The variety spread among collectors around 2020 and quickly gained attention for its striking coloration and reliable set in small pots. Given strong light and regular feeding, Dark Stripes rewards with abundant, photogenic harvests.
