Overview
First Pick is an open-pollinated French heirloom that ripens early, at roughly 60 days. The plants are determinate and produce red, globe-shaped fruit of 4 to 5 ounces, and they are reported to produce well in cool weather. Do not mix it up with 'First Pik', which is a different, hybrid variety. The bush habit and early maturity make it a good fit for short seasons and for containers with a small cage.
