B.C KO T
- 80 days, indet., regular leaf plant with good yield of flattened red small beefsteak fruit, 2-5 oz; some fruits may be quite ribbed, others are smooth, excellent sharp sweet flavor, juicy flesh, keeps very well after picking - the fruits dry up rather than rot; I expected larger fruit since ‘Gigant’ means ‘Giant’ in English.
Seed source:
- Tamara Yaschenko of Biysk, Siberia, Russia 06
Year grown: 2006
Location: Zone 7b, PNW, Anmore, BC, Canada (760 ft above sea level)
History
