\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Krab (translating to “Crab”) is a highly productive indeterminate<\/strong> variety that produces absolutely massive beefsteaks. Growers report fruits pushing 1.5 to 1.7 lbs (700-800 g). The vines grow to about 5-5.5 ft (1.5-1.7 m) in a greenhouse setting. It is praised for its heavy yields, huge fruit size, and excellent classic flavor. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Seeds are from Alexandrov. In the photo, it’s the one on the right, Brutus is on the left. I have a separate photo of it somewhere, if I find it I’ll post it up. The biggest ones pushed 1.5-1.7 lbs (700-800 g).<\/p>\n

I really liked this variety. It’s a heavy yielder, massive fruits, and tastes great.<\/p>\n

Grew it in the greenhouse. It’s an indet, definitely reached about 5-5.5 ft (1.5-1.7 m) tall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
