- Early midseason, indet. plants with regular foliage, pink beefsteaks with some green/yellow shoulders, it was the first large fruited variety to ripen in my garden in 2009 (July 22). Very good flavor, sweet with slightly smoky aftertaste.

- Plants are regular leafed and indeterminate. 8-12 oz fruits are pink -red, green shouldered. 80-85 days.
- Green shoulder combined with the partial yellow skin carry-over from the Cherokee Purple parent will at times make these appear to be "black". This seems to be an environmentally induced factor.

- 75-85 days, indet., regular leaf plants, medium pink, 8-12 oz, slightly flattened beefsteaks with excellent flavor, seems to set well in heat. I found the appearance and flavor of the fruits to be somewhat similar to Earl's Faux, but perhaps a bit more tart. Cherokee Purple X Brandywine cross, developed and stabilized by Keith Mueller of MO.
