Overview
Mountain Rouge F1 is a pink beefsteak from Bejo Seeds that won AAS regional awards in 2019 across the Northeast, Southeast, and Heartland. The fruit weighs 12 to 14 ounces, measures four to five inches, and has a smooth, fleshy texture with few seeds and a robust heirloom-style flavor balancing sugar and acid. Plants are indeterminate, four to six feet tall and about four feet wide, so give them room and a sturdy stake; around 75 fruits per plant is typical. Disease resistance includes late blight, root-knot nematode, Verticillium, and Fusarium, and a Connecticut trial rated it superior against early blight and septoria as well. About 73 days from transplant.
