B.C KO T

indet., regular leaf, irregularly shaped flattened pink beefsteaks, 7-15 oz, meaty and juicy, with small seed cavities and not very many seeds per fruit. Excellent balanced flavor, smooth flesh, no core. Vent Marin describes it as 'red', but it was definitely pink for me. I cannot be 100% sure that this variety is stable, but it is definitely worth growing.
