Fruit Density, Seasonal Flavor Shift, and Lineage<\/h3>\n

The fruits are oblate beefsteaks in a striking, rich color: a deep mahogany blend of rose-pink, purple, and brown. The slicers are dense, meaty, and firm.<\/p>\n

Flavor went through a noticeable evolution over the season: starting out relatively flat and bland in mid-summer, improving to very good, and by September the fruit turned downright delicious with rich sweetness.<\/p>\n

Overall yield was a bit above average.<\/p>\n
