Another absolute treat from the Cantati series. Just like all the others in this line, it blows you away with its flavor. The plant reached about 4 feet (120 cm) tall outdoors out in the dirt. Mid-early season. Very beautiful fruits weighing 7-9 oz (200-250 g), a gorgeous crimson-pink color with a scattered pearlescent shimmer right under the skin. The flesh is juicy, meaty, with a superb sweet taste. An aromatic, heavy-yielding stunner.
