AGGC data this year has expanded to attempt to quantify:
1) more shades of color
2) shape of fruit
3) ribbing of fruit
4) stem length & circumference

Also, you will be able to submit up to three photos of your fruit to show different angles.

Just thought I'd mention it as something to keep in mind as you collect data from this year's fruit. This extra data will further help us all select the most desirable traits in future breeding plans.

Thanks for the heads up Frank. I really like the direction Mike is going in, with the AGGC. He should be commended for all his work, and for this valuable resource.
