Siberian, Early

Red-orange, beefsteak; 4-5oz. Early maturing. Unusually lemony zest. This variety was donated to SSE by Bill McDorman who got it on a collections trip to Barnaul, Siberia in 1989. He received a sample of the seeds after a PhD plant breeder at the Institute of Horticulture smuggled it to him along with 60 other varieties that had been created at the facility.
