Pretty Flowers
This is a semi miniature. It started blooming within a couple of weeks after I received it, and has been blooming ever since. The flowers look like tiny pink roses. I ordered three minis in my first order and all came in great condition, even though they arrived an entire week after they were shipped due to poor mail service in our little town.
Beautiful plant
My order arrived today in perfect condition and all plants are very healthy. This little beauty has nice variegation and excited to see it bloom. I also received a free plant and it is one I have never seen listed for sale but it’s gorgeous!! So happy with the Violet Barn.
Rob's Cool Fruit
Absolutely gorgeous leaves and budding nicely after arriving in 90°+ heat. A joy to own.
Enchanting
The blooms are so delicate, the color is perfect, even when not blooming, the leaves are so pretty to look at. I’m giving this sweetheart 5 stars, it grew and bloomed for me even though I’m not an expert
Simply Devine!
A profuse bloomer with a gorgeous shade of pink! I love the variegation on the leaves. I think this is one of my favorite semi-miniatures. I've never been disappointed with the Violet Barn. Their African Violets are top notch!
Small and charming
The leaves alone are enough to hook me. Beautiful colored blooms are bountiful. Very nice symmetry without having to fuss with it too much which is a plus.
One of my all time favorites!
I just love this plant! Beautiful foliage and blooms.
spectacular
such a pretty little violet with stunning foliage, can't wait to see the blooms!

Robs Cool Fruit was given to me as a gift and I was delighted! Lots of blooms and couldn’t ask for more expert packing. The little plant is doing well!!
So easy to grow!
I purchased this plant from violet barn about two years ago. It has been my happiest mini violet ever! Mine prefers to grow under lights in a humid area.
Beautiful Semiminiature
Rob’s Cool Fruit has such beautiful blossoms and foliage. I had one years ago and I’m coming back for another. Thank you Violet Barn for your wonderful African violets! Lori Wilson
Lovely
I bought this little av before and ordering her again for her beautiful foliage. Thank you again.
Rob's Cool Fruit
This is a fantastic little plant! Considering buying a second one for my mom's birthday.
So Beautiful!
Rob’s Cool Fruit is one of my favorite minis, The flower is so dainty and gorgeous in various shades of pink. It is a must have for me!
Ron's Cool Fruit
I am excited about growing minis. I have moved and space is tight,but these little guys will allow me the ability to continue loving violets. Thank you!
If I could only have one, this would be it
I've had this little violet for years now, and it never disappoints. I love the sweet sweet color of the flowers, and the foliage is always pretty - and the combination of flower and foliage is irresistible.
A cool fruit indeed!
Wonderful colors, effortless symmetry, adorable pom-pom blossoms. I have had my Cool Fruit for almost four years, and it has been an easy grower and willing bloomer, even in the middle of winter when the foliage turns almost completely white in response to the chilly indoor temps in my unheated house (often 65 degrees during the day and as low as 55 degrees at night). It is equally tolerant of our hot, dry desert summers. Highly recommend!
Cool Only Begins to Describe This Cultivar
I bought this plant a while back and it is just adorable. The foliage alone is spectacular. The flowers are an extra treat. Highly recommended for a miniature violet. Well worth the purchasing for those who love minis.
Beautiful
Just as pretty as the picture!
Darling!!
Just received my box, packed so well. Rob's Cool Fruit was one of the plants. I love it!! It is so healthy looking, can't wait for it to bloom!
AV
Just got this one and it came with flowers. Well packed and I'm so exited to have it. Thank u so much.
Love it
I just received this little cutie. The foliage is very orettt and so neat and dainty. My violet came with a few buds and I can't wait to watch them bloom.
Pleased
Beautiful and dainty. Can't wait till it blooms.
Always a surprise AV
I had this AV for couple years now , love it very much, and it surprises me with the change of it's foliage sometimes it's normal, but sometimes it's almost a logifolia , really cool ( don't know why it's doing it) Great bloomer, easy grower, never had a problems, very recommend :)))
Fantastic foliage and blooms!
I got this plant last month and it just started blooming. It has adorable pink and white double blooms that are held above perfectly formed variegated foliage. I especially love the gorgeous foliage. Fantastic little plant.
My First Semi-Miniature
I still remember the day that I opened up a box many years ago and excitedly saw Robs Cool Fruit, a small plant with leaves that were stunning. I remember watching in earnest each day as the flower buds developed. I already thought it was a pretty plant with just the leaves, but man it just gets better with the flowers. This is a great plant!
This is a good bloomer!
This hybrid really likes to bloom, and grows evenly and well-shaped. It doesn't seem to be particular about growing conditions. The babies/young plants don't like to be overwatered.. but give them a few weeks of age, and they are strong. One of my favorites.
blooms non-stop
Got this on in spring, such a beautiful almost constant bloomer. Foliage is just stunning. Very easy to take care of. I Love this violet a lot.
Beautiful!
Arrived in perfect condition and after about 3 months it has 2 perfect blooms. My blooms almost look like little cabbage roses...so pretty!
Cheerful!
I have this in a terrarium at work and it is quite happy. It took a few months to bloom but has amazing crown variegation to tide you over.
Amazing foliage!
This perfect little plant is very pretty. The leaves are multiple colors and the flowers look like works of art. Gorgeous!
If at first you don't succeed...try,try again!
I struggle to give this five stars or just one. Loved this plant. It just didn't love me. It survived the size of a quarter with leaves in a perfect rosettefor nearly six months. The plant itself looked like a blossom. Sadly, I couldn't get the leaves to green up. They were almost completely white when the plant started to fail. Perhaps a result from being grown too cool (a side-effect of Canadian winters). It won't stop me from trying again. While this runt didn't make it, I will certainly be trying again!
Fun name for a cute plant
I have had this sweet little violet for over 1 year. It is a very cute plant. I guess the name caught my attention when I purchased it, and of all my violets, the name always pops into my head when I see it in bloom. The blooms are so delicate and pretty. It makes me feel a bit happier when I see it in bloom.
cool fruit
Lost my cool fruit due to a transfer to a new hospital, just as it was going gang busters. So pretty, it looked fake. I have ordered 2 more can't wait to get them.
Beautiful plant
The foliage is absolutely beautiful on it's own - can't wait for the blooms.
Robs Cool Fruit
I have had this "little fruit" for just a week. One of the prettiest rosettes I have ever see. She is at the front of her shelf and will stay there!
Charming Little Violet
I received this plant a short time ago and now it is loaded with blooms and buds. The pink and rose colors on the flower petals are a lovely combination. I wish I had ordered this one long before!
Beautiful
I have always raised standard violets. I was a little scared to try miniatures but this little beauty has been so easy to grow and just a joy to be around! I look at it every day. It's so awesome to see something so tiny be so beautiful! And takes up so much less room. I can have more.
Beautiful leaves !!
I loved this little violet. However we left for a vacation for the holidays and while we were gone it didn't Make it. My fault of course but the leaves were very beautiful and I wish I would have been able to see the blooms! May have to order again to see!
adorable!
This cute little plant came in perfect condition, with several blooms and buds already on it! It been a few weeks and the blooms keep coming, little delicate peachy pink blossoms, and the leaves are beautifully variegated. Lovely little miniature!
Cutest little plant!
I got this plant and two others with my first order, and they arrived in perfect condition. The packaging is bomb proof it's so secure and well insulated. This beautiful plant arrived full of cute cherry blossom pink blooms. The leaves are a fresh juicy green, only lightly variegated at the moment. The plants were all so healthy and vigorous. I'm so happy with my order.
Adorable little blooms!
Love this little plant. Although, sometimes it's all pink, I still love it's fully double blooms.
Rob's Cool Fruit
This is a very petite plant. It is definitely my smallest semi-miniature. It has little pinhead buds which have been opening very slowly. The flower color seems to me to be a rose pink which is very pretty. The leaves are variegated, slightly pointed which is attractive with the very round flowers. All in all, it's really a darling little plant! Indeed, quite delightful to look at!
Cuttest violet
This is a very cute violet. So tiny and the color of the leaves and the pink tone makes a perfect combination.
Beautiful Foliage
Mine arrived quickly and in perfect condition. It has not bloomed yet but it is going to soon. I love the variegated foliage and I can't wait to see the blooms in combination with the leaves. Definitely a winner.
great plant
Rob's Cool Fruit is a great plant. This plant stays symmetric by itself with little or sometimes no grooming. I LOVE this plant especially because of its variegation on its leaves and the blooms are a slight pink color. Pictures can't show fully how beautiful this plant is :)
even for dummies
This is the most fool-proof violet of any type that I have ever grown! I mostly have larger varieties and this was in a group of smaller violets that I ordered just to "try out". Boy have I been surprised at Cool Fruit. It is always in bloom, but I would happily grow it for the leaves alone. The variegation is breathtaking, but the perfect symmetry just happens with no effort at all. This violet easily gets my highest rating. If you are going to try a smaller variety, please put this one on your list!
My Favorite!
This is a fantastic little plant! I'm usually not a fan of pink, but this is my favorite african violet. The variegation on the foliage is striking and combined with the ethereal blossoms is just lovely. It never stops blooming and grows in a perfect rosette. Even when I make mistakes that might kill a lesser plant, it bounces back quickly and still looks like it's ready for show.
