B.C KO T
- Det., regular leaf plants of manageable size that can also be grown well in pots. High yield of red plum-shaped fruits, 1-4 oz, with dry flesh and very good sweet flavor. Very concentrated fruit set and ripening. Fruits detach easily from the stem when ripe, which makes it so easy to pick from the plants that are loaded with ripe fruit. Good keeper. Very impressive paste variety.
