Description
Heirloom: Indeterminate, 85 days. Originating in the 1800s, this variety is appropriately named given its massive 2 lb. fruits. More distinctive than usual bicolored varieties, in that the fruit is more orange colored with intense red streaking. Great acidic, sweet flavor.
As we are growers in the Northeast, we strive to have our plants ready for Mid-May. We have no way to guarantee that the the tender plants will not get chilled during shipment, so we with an eye to the weather, we will ship when it is safe to do so. If you have a special request, be sure to let us know. If your specified plants are ready for shipment before Mid-May, and you are in a warmer zone, we will try to ship your plants earlier.
Local pickup is available at either the Lunenburg or New Braintree farms, or at many of our farmer’s markets. Check out markets for locations. If you select “local delivery” at checkout, be sure to let us know where you plan on picking up in the “order notes”.
For shipping: a minimum order of 6 plants please. US shipments only, and we can not ship to AZ, CA, TX, NM, OR, & WA, or outside of the continental US! We ship USPS
