Home garden favorite for decades! 6-8"H x 6"W plants produces almost round, 1½" diameter, 2-toned fruit: bright scarlet to a pure white tip, dotted with festive freckles and a long white root trailing from the end. Mild, sweet flavored, crispy, tender, clear white flesh. Larger than Cherry Belle. Great for containers. Excellent for Fresh Markets.
Pollination occurs by insect, bird, wind, humans, or other natural mechanisms. Because there are no restrictions on the flow of pollen between individuals, open-pollinated plants are more genetically diverse. However, as long as pollen is not shared between different varieties within the same species, then the seed produced will remain true-to-type year after year.
This variety has a history of being passed down within a family or community, similar to the generational sharing of certain items like jewelry or furniture.
