B.C KO T

Indet., regular leaf plants produce medium sized golden orange fruits that are not heart shaped despite the name. Not sure why it was called 'heart'. Fruits are oblate and round, blemish free, with firm and meaty flesh. We have not observed any cracking, even in rainy weather. 4-6 oz. Great flavor, more acidic than sweet. (limited, 15 seeds / packet)
