Vigorous, indeterminate, regular leafed plants. Late, probably around 90 days (estimating from records). Large pink fruits usually around 1lb/450g. Excellent flavor quality in midwest. Rich flavor that is not based on sweetness. People that tried it remarked "old fashioned flavor" or "like Grandpa's". Some cracking or weather checking of shoulders. Occasionally some green shoulders may persist after ripening.
