The F6 expression of Sofia Saakova’s Emerald Brocade, a mesmerisingly beautiful green-when-ripe heartshaped variety. Emerald and pastel colour with some pink in the interior, and antho striping. Like so many of Sofia Saakova’s varieties, these plants are extremely prolific. Flavour is fruity and very sweet, nicely balanced with a little acidity.
