PA SE P
- The flavor of this fluted slicer is similar to other whites I have tasted, mellow and mild with a fruity undertone. Unlike its ancestor Purple Calabash, Kenraken Niwasokoten Onon’onsera’ko:wa does not mind the cold as much and will continue to preform well many degrees lower than its purple counterpart. Indeterminate, regular leaved, midseason, and all purpose.
