- Large vines need caging or staking, 75 days, large (10-18 oz) red flattened heart-shaped sometimes with yellow shoulders, very meaty yet juicy fruit with a complex, sweet rich and intense flavor. Good productivity for a large heart-shaped variety. Recommended as a very good variety to try if you haven't done so already.
