\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Minnie’s Pin Striped<\/strong> is a classic American indeterminate heirloom<\/strong> bicolor beefsteak climbing over 6 ft (1.8 m)<\/strong> tall. It yields generous crops of large, meaty yellow slicers weighing roughly 10-18 oz (280-500 g)<\/strong>, decorated with delicate crimson pin-striping radiating up from the blossom end. Gardeners consistently praise its melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, fruity sweetness, noting it sets fruit reliably even during cool, overcast seasons, though its thin skin can crack if greenhouse foundations take on standing water during prolonged downpours.

Mid-season variety, climbing over 6 ft (1.8 m) tall.<\/p>\n

The fruit are large, two-toned bicolors, very meaty and sweet. This was my top pleasant surprise of the 2015 season! A truly wonderful variety that held up like a champ through a cold, soggy summer.<\/p>\n

Really enjoyed this variety. Eye-catching, heavy-yielding, and thoroughly delicious, just like the vast majority of good bicolors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Big fan of this one. Ran it along the sunny side bed of the greenhouse. High-yielding, juicy, and very tasty.<\/p>\n

The only issue was cracking when a relentless week of heavy rains battered us and the soil flooded along that side of the foundation.<\/p>\n
