This old standard variety has become a classic. Fruits turn darker red as they fully mature; solid and meaty. Medium to large sized fruits are formed in clusters of 4 to 6 per truss. Flesh is exceptionally solid, dense, and meaty with small seed cavities and few seeds overall—ideal for home canning, sauces, or thick slices. Skin is thin and soft for easy peeling and slicing. Plants are vigorous with regular-leaf foliage, highly productive (fruits often in loose clusters of 4–6), and benefit from strong staking; several plants are recommended for processing volumes.

HISTORY: Old commercial variety. Also known as, 'Red Ponderosa', 'Crimson Cushion' and 'Scarlett Beefsteak'.
