It is a cross between Big Rainbow and Green Zebra.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate (tall). Known for being a bit wimpy and spindly in the seedling stage, but it vigorously stretches to 6-6.5 feet (1.8-2 m) in a greenhouse.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Absolutely stunning yellow-orange beefsteaks with bold red\/magenta stripes. Inside, the flesh is a marbled red and yellow. Average weight is 7-10.5 oz (200-300 g), sometimes pushing over 1 lb (450 g).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Yield:<\/strong> A highly debated variety! Many growers praise its complex, fruity, and sweet flavor. Others find it bland or too tart depending on their soil and weather. It has a notorious reputation for being a very low yielder, often giving only 4 to 6 large fruits per plant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown this variety?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Click here to add your own photos and review below!<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Sandr (Aleksandr) <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83c\udf31 Member (339 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Unknown Zone<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>I loved this variety purely for its looks, it is incredibly beautiful both inside and out.

And Michael Pollan was decent for canning. Based on all that, I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that modern breeding for stripes comes at the heavy expense of flavor.
