Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Armenian - sliced fruit. 2009-08-20.

B.C KO T

Mid-season, indet., regular leaf, 8-12 oz, bi-color fruit with very good sweet flavor, moderate yield. Not as late as Old German or Mr. Stripey. I also observed some heart shaped fruits on the same plants, which I believe was environmental.

2009 notes

Seeds from TX GU R were crossed - the plants produced large ribbed pink beefsteaks. Seeds from the other source (Mireille Blais) grew true to type.

Seed source:

1. Mireille Blais, Quebec, Canada 07

2. Michael Gunn of Pasadena, Texas (TX GU R) 07 / Neil Lockhart of Oblong, Illinois (IL LO N) / Bill Minkey of Darien, Wisconsin (WI MI B) 95 / PA LE C 91 (Craig LeHoullier) / Charlotte Mullens, West Virginia 90 - off-tipe, see Armenian Pink

Year grown: 2008 (crop failure), 2009

Location: Zone 7b, PNW, Anmore, BC, Canada (760 ft above sea level)
