A fairly recent variety, dating from 1997, developed by Craig LeHouillier and presented in 2002 in the S.S.Yearbook. The result of a cross between a "Brandywine" and an unknown, random parent, hence the name "Lucky Cross".
Large, beefsteak-like fruit weighing 200 to 500 grams, flattened with curved shoulders and ribbed at the top. Deep, corky depression at stem attachment, trace of umbilicus at one point.
Bicolored orange-yellow and red, with shoulders changing from green to orange-red only at full maturity.
Beefy flesh similar to other Brandywines, orange-yellow mottled with pink, darkening at full maturity. Fabulous flavor, complex, rich but sweet, superior to many Brandywines.
Large, potato-like foliage, indeterminate growth.
Good production, better in the second half of the season.
Harvest 2023, bag of approx. 15 seeds.
