Overview
Caspian Pink is an open-pollinated heirloom beefsteak from the Caspian Sea region of Ukraine and Russia, carried to the United States by an immigrant family. Fruit is pinkish-red, 10 to 12 ounces, with the flattened, slightly irregular shape of a traditional beefsteak and a thin, smooth rose-pink skin. The flavor is rich and less sharp than red beefsteaks, and it is often ranked alongside Brandywine in tastings. Vines are indeterminate and the fruit is heavy, so stake securely. Warm nights help it set fruit.
