Overview
Schellenberg's Favorite is a German heirloom beefsteak with oval, red-orange, smooth fruit of 1 to 2 pounds that resists cracking. The indeterminate vines take a long main season to ripen, so it suits gardens with a long, warm summer and needs a stout cage. The name is sometimes written without the apostrophe.
