A heirloom variety from the Barnes family who have been growing it since the time of the American Civil War (1861-1865). It should be noted that at that time it was considered an ornamental plant because most people were unaware that the fruit was edible.

Large pink beefsteak-like fruit weighing 250 to 400 grams, round, flattened and ribbed at the shoulders. Depression at the peduncular attachment quite deep and the trace of umbilicus in belted bulge.

Fleshy and juicy beef flesh with an excellent flavour reminiscent of Brandywine.
