Growers’ Notes and Photos (USDA Zones 4-5 Experience)
Grown outdoors in the dirt. First year growing this variety. The fruits are large, but there weren’t a whole lot of them. The only reason I’m dropping a review in the catalog: it was one of the absolute best-tasting bicolors of ’21.
Here it is compared to Zagadka Prirody (Nature’s Riddle) and Medovyy Salyut (Honey Salute).

The skin color can lean more yellow or red depending on the sun exposure.
Mid-season, tall indeterminate variety. Fruits are large, sweet, meaty, and delicious. Shapes range from wide flat-round to oxheart, yellow-orange with a pink blush on top. Awesome variety!
