Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Marvel - sliced fruit. 2014-08-21.

B.C KO T

Indet., regular leaf plants produce medium red beefsteak fruits, 6-10 oz with very good balanced flavor. I feel this variety is capable of producing much larger fruits, it just was not growing in a good location.

Seed source:

Bruce Van Order of Freeville, New York (NY VA B) 07 / Seed Savers Heritage Farm, Decorah, Iowa (IA SSE HF) 03 / CV Hei / John A. Demonchau

Year grown: 2014

Location: Zone 7b, PNW, Anmore, BC, Canada (760 ft above sea level)
