Flavor
Described as fine, mild, sweet and fruity with juicy, meaty flesh. As with every flavor note here, this is the recurring catalog and grower description, not a measured claim.
Origin
A large bicolor beefsteak heirloom; the fetched sources describe it only as an heirloom and do not document a specific originator.
What it does well
- Very large, showy bicolor beefsteak fruit
- Mild, sweet, fruity flavor
- Meaty flesh with few seeds
Where it frustrates
- Large fruit can crack
- Indeterminate vines need sturdy support
- Long season needed to ripen big fruit
