- 85 days, indeterminate, regular leaf. 8-18oz fruit, deep yellow/orange and oxheart shaped. Several of them were over 1lb each and I would have gotten more that way if it wasn't for the frost! Kept setting fruit right up until the frost killed it. Loved the hot, hot weather. Best producer for me this year. Very sweet, very tasty fruit, with very few seeds. A great canner. Vine grew over 6ft. Requires extremely heavy staking to accommodate the weight of the fruit. This was the only plant of mine this year that didn't get burned during transplant. Will grow every year from now on.

- First listed in SSE 1995 Yearbook by Carolyn Male of Latham, New York.
