Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Polish Linguisa - sliced fruit. 2009-09-04.

B.C KO T

Mid- to late season, indet., regular wispy foliage, elongated red paste fruits with a knob on the blossom end. Fruits are 5-6" long, with firm flesh and very few seeds, have very good sweet flavor. Good for fresh eating and cooking. Medium to high productivity, most fruits ripen at the same time, but the plant continues to produce until it is killed by frost or disease.
