- Through the worst of recent increases in disease proliferation, Skykomish has been one of the only cultivars to persistently produce into the frost regardless of conditions of disease. They are fruity flavored bicolor slicers born later in the season on regular leaf indeterminate vines. The interesting thing about the bicolor fruits is that the cores are pure yellow, only the flesh under the skins contains lycopene. Good flavor.
