Overview
Pik Red (also written Pikred) is a 1974 hybrid from the Joseph Harris Co. with large, extra-firm, meaty red globes on an open, compact determinate plant. Fruit picked at the mature red stage keeps remarkably well, which was the point of the breeding. Resistance includes Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, Verticillium wilt and nematodes. It ripens around 75 days and is widely adapted, so it fits most home gardens where a sturdy, cage-grown slicer is wanted.
