With its rich flavor, versatility in the kitchen, and excellent storage qualities, it’s a favorite for home gardens and seasonal cooking.

• Season of Interest: Mid-summer through late summer; harvest in 100 days
• Light Requirements: Full Sun to Part Sun (6 to 6+ Hours)
• Soil Requirements: Prefers rich, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8; benefits from heavy compost incorporation and consistent moisture; avoid waterlogged or compacted soils which can inhibit vine growth and reduce the development of this variety's characteristic sweet, tan-skinned fruit with long storage capability.
