This cold-tolerant potato-leaf heirloom from Czechoslovakia, bears an abundance of very sweet, flavourful, 2 to 3 inch, deep-red fruit. A 1988 comparative tasting in San Francisco gave it first place for its wonderful sweet/acid, luscious, tomatoey flavour and production. It is very high yielding, producing quickly, heavily, reliably early, and continuously throughout the long fruiting season, and is still producing well in mid-September. It is the first non-cherry to ripen, setting well at very low temperatures, and become even sweeter with colder autumn weather. Finally it is very disease resistant. (Cordon) ... Learn More

Very fine for slicing and frying and especially for making delicious conserves. Pleated and large - tangy acidic but still tasty. Very productive. Wow! (Cordon) ... Learn More
