A variety inherited from the Barnes family, who have been growing it since the days of the American Civil War (1861-1865). At the time, it was considered an ornamental plant, as 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 trace of umbilicus in belted bulge.

Fleshy, juicy beefy flesh with an excellent flavor reminiscent of Brandywine.

Plant with medium development, potato foliage, indeterminate growth.

Average production in the second half of the season.
