What are your experiences with Alpha Pink?

I grew it in, I think 2018, but my plant was stunted (probably by the alkaline soil, heat, and drought, and it being new to my garden). Nevertheless, it produced one to a few small fruits. The fruit I ate was really, really good (in a tangy-acidic sort of way). I miss it. I'm thinking about direct-seeding it, tonight, if I still have any seeds (and saving seeds and trying again in 2022).

We had a fire (for burning weeds and lots of prunings), which produced a bunch of ashes, near where I planted it (that's why I say alkaline soil; the soil was probably already kind of alkaline, however).

Here are some pages about it:
