History

• It was first introduced to SSE in 1998 by Chuck Wyatt of MD (MD WY C). Chuck described it as follows:

"90 days, indet., regular leaf, a gigantic new find, this good producer delivers superbly flavored fruit in the 2 lb. range, the wonderful flavor is not overpowering but has delicious subtle undertones, an heirloom from the Chucrh family of Hot Springs, VA, collected by Jack Schaeffer."
