Thread starter here. An old family heirloom. It was grown for many years by a woman in Bosnia, and later, her stepdaughter gave the seeds of this variety to Carolyn Male.
I absolutely loved it. The fruits are large, wide oxhearts, very uniform, meaty, delicious, and highly aromatic. It’s also a very heavy yielder.
Vjerino! 🫡 It easily made it to my top 10 list for 2024. Mega productive and super delicious.
