Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Bychiy Lob (SWED) - sliced fruit. 2013-08-10.

B.C KO T

Indet., regular leaf. Excellent and early fruit set under diverse weather conditions helps to achieve earlier maturity and higher yields. First fruits ripen very early, and plants continue to produce throught the season. Large and ribbed red beefsteaks are very juicy, with small seed chambers, 6-12 oz, some with yellow shoulders. Flavor is very good and rich, and gets sweeter later in the season. (limited, 15 seeds/packet)

Seed source:

1. Andrey Baranovski of Minsk, Belarus (BELR BA A) 07 / CV 'Sibirskiy Sad' (Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia)

2. Åke Truedsson of Klagshamn, Sweden (SWED TR A) 10

Year grown: 2013

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