Originally from the former Czechoslovakia, imported to the USA during the Second World War.

Large, beefsteak-like fruit weighing 250 to 500 grams, ribbed at the top and with rounded shoulders.

Dark pink with reddish highlights, sometimes with greenish marks on the shoulders.

Superb tomato with dense, smooth, velvety flesh. Rich, well-balanced flavor. Subtle, nuanced taste with good sweetness.

Large, potato-like foliage, indeterminate growth.

Good, long, regular second-season production, more productive than most other potato-foliage varieties.
