At 2.5 months post-harvest, only the purple/black fruit remains from that initial harvest.
The high concentration of anthocyanin pigments is supposed to help discourage some spoilage molds, so this fruit remaining is good to see.
I have plenty from a later harvest yet to be examined in detail.

At two weeks post-harvest, the tomatillos are still in good shape. This makes me pretty sure that they all have the long-storage trait. If so, the fruit will stay in good shape until I process them for seeds in early spring.
