85 days, indet., regular leaf, 3-5" plum shaped fruit, some as big as a soda can, outstanding production for me and very good flavor for canning or salads, a 50+ year-old variety grown by a family in Kazakhstan.

• First offered in the Seed Savers 2009 Yearbook by Ted Corbett of Germany (GERM CO T), Carolyn Male of Salem, New York (NY MA C) and Nathalie Antaya of Quebec, Canada (QUE AN N).
