garden, with a compact habit ideal for containers, patio culture, or
small-space gardening. It's a great combination of big fruit on small
plants, and is as stunning as an ornamental as it is delicious!
The
big, bright red, smooth-skinned fruits weigh between 8 and 12 ounces
each, measuring 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter. They are firm and
crack-resistant, with good uniform coloring and terrific juicy-sweet
taste.
Determinate
plants are resistant to Verticilium Wilt, Fusarium Wilt races 1 and 2,
Alternaria alternata (Crown Wilt), and Stemphylium (Gray Leaf Spot).
Start
seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant outdoors
when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain
above 55 degrees F. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect
young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 2 to 2 1/2
feet apart.
