3,78 $
This variety produces abundant red fruits in clusters, almost perfectly round in shape of approximatively 120 to 170 grams. Their red flesh is juicy and savory with a well-balanced taste.
Impervious to cracking and diseases, it’s fruit keep well after harvest. Originally from Switzerland and cultivated in Sissoch since the 1930s by Walter and Marie Muller-Linder, its seeds were brought all the way to British Columbia by the family in 1952. Grown in greenhouses for a long time, the daughter, Christine Wieber shared some seeds with François Lebel whom in turn, made them available in the Semence du Patrimoine catalog. Having tried them, we were positively surprised. Up to you to give them a try at home!
