This is a very rare heirloom, grown and saved over generations by one family in Mid Missouri. It is almost impossible to get hold of, and I was really excited to try it this year! It's a funny little plant that takes a long time to mature, but the fruits are well worth the wait. These are SO SWEET. They are well balanced too, more complex than just sugar, it's like eating a tropical fruit! You need this in your life, and being a heart it has very few seeds, so there will not be many available!
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
Height Band G
