Climbing (indeterminate). A heirloom variety, which produces large, beefsteak fruit up to 10cm in diameter. Known to be one of the most beautiful varieties available, the fruit ripens to have rainbow-coloured skin of yellow, red and orange shades. Inside, the firm juicy flesh is marbled red and yellow, which makes it a striking addition to a platter or salad when sliced. The flavour is mild and sweet.
