Overview
Nepal is a potato-leaf heirloom collected from a Himalayan village garden. Indeterminate vines with soft blue-green foliage carry heavy clusters of smooth, bright red to pink-red globe fruit of 10 to 12 ounces, soft yet meaty, seeds are few, and the flavor is a rich balance of sweet and tart. It has stayed productive through hot, humid summers and shown decent foliage disease tolerance in Gulf South trials. Stake or cage well, because the dense vines become heavy under a fruit load, and wait for full color before picking.
