Growers’ Notes and Photos (USDA Zone 4 Experience)
Indeterminate, mid-season slicer, regular leaf. Fruits are large pink beefsteaks, the skin looks like it has shimmery sparkles to it, the tomatoes are meaty with small seed cavities and very few seeds. Very pleasant flavor, a nice mix of sweet and tart, maximum taste rating is a 4.7 out of 5, but the vine was growing in the greenhouse in light shade. Gonna repeat this one again next year but in a better spot, really loved it for the color and the sheer beauty of the fruits.
