History

• Dates at least to the 1930s in Berkshire County.
• First offered in the Seed Savers 1995 Yearbook by Lawrence Hollander of Great Barrington, Massachusetts (MA HO L).
• Originally listed as red, but Bill Minkey of Darien, Wisconsin (WI MI B), who grew the seeds from Lawrence Hollander said it was actually pink. It is likely that the fruit color was not correctly identified by the original lister.
