A tall, very robust and sturdy vine with thick stems and large, non-drooping leaves. Can easily reach 2.5 meters (8+ ft) in a greenhouse. Despite its vigor, it is described as &#8220;slender&#8221; in terms of not throwing out an excessive amount of suckers. Shows excellent heat tolerance and does not drop blossoms during hot spells.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Very large, heavy, chubby red oxhearts\/beefsteaks. They do not suffer from cracking and ripen evenly without hard green\/yellow shoulders or tough internal white tissue.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Texture:<\/strong> Highly rated.
