  23. SHAPE STEM END (SHAPE.STEM.END) Predominate fruit shape at the stem end (blunt, depressed, flat, raised) observed in trial, with frequency in notes.
  24. STARCHY FRUIT (STARCHY.FRUIT) Percent of evaluated fruit with trait. Recorded as binary per fruit and then averaged across evaluated inventory [percent].
  25. SWEET FRUIT (SWEET.FRUIT) Percent of evaluated fruit with trait. Recorded as binary per fruit and then averaged across evaluated inventory [percent]. .
