\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Qianglimishou<\/strong> is a mid-season, indeterminate<\/strong> pink beefsteak of Asian\/Japanese heritage. Known for its distinct, slightly ribbed shoulders and uniquely sprawling cluster architecture, it proved to be an early, dependable cropper in northern zones. However, in cold-summer conditions (USDA Zone 4), the flavor failed to impress, turning out flat or sharp and acidic rather than sweet. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Mid-season indeterminate variety originating from Japan.
\nThe fruits are pink, slightly ribbed beefsteaks. Catalog descriptions promised outstanding flavor, but in my garden beds they turned out either completely flat or noticeably sour, definitely did not win me over on taste.
\nYield, on the other hand, was solid, and the vine was among the very first to start coloring up and ripening.
\nThe flower trusses and fruit clusters are really fascinating, almost comical in how they spread out:<\/p>\n
