Outstanding yields of 3-4”, slightly flattened, dark purple beefsteak fruits with deep green shoulders - they turn almost black with sufficient sunlight and heat. Intense, rich, slightly salty flavor. A heavy producer, but somewhat prone to cracking (which in no way effects the favor) when exposed to irregular environs (aka over-watering, drought then heavy rain); this is also due to this varieties inheriant thin skin.
HISTORY: Originates from the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea off the coast of the Crimean Peninsula (Ukraine).
Sold in a 3.5" pot.
