It is a late-mid season producer with fruits ranging from 8.8 oz to over a pound (250-500 g).

Indeterminate variety, mid-season leaning toward late season. Yields are great. The fruits are oblate red beefsteaks, averaging around 8.8 oz (250 g). They are juicy, delicious with a nice sweetness, and have very few seeds inside. I grew this one outdoors. Definitely growing it again next year, but I think I’ll put it in the greenhouse.<\/p>\n

I really liked this variety too. It might not look super unique, but it\u2019s delicious, highly productive, and seemed totally fuss-free to me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
