Beauty King
A large, stunning red and yellow bicolour beefsteak developed by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms. This variety is the result of a stabilised cross between Big Rainbow and Green Zebra. The fruit can weigh up to 600g, the interior is juicy, meaty and striped, and Brad Gates calls it
“By far the best looking and tasting red yellow bi-color I have tried.”
Compact indeterminate, sometimes listed as dwarf, this plant grows to 1.40m and benefits from growing with more than one leader. 75-80days
Indeterminate plants are vigorous plants with a vining tendency. They set their fruits at intervals along their stems, and will readily grow side shoots and suckers (shoots from ground level). They need good, strong support, and it is advisable to remove the majority of the side shoots and suckers unless you have plenty of space and fertile soil to allow them to grow to their full potential. See the guide on pruning indeterminates in the resources section of the website for tips.
Sow Jan-April indoors
