Details
Harvard Square is a standout American heirloom beefsteak, with round to gently flattened fruits dressed in deep green and light green striping splashed with red, and a rosy blush that can carry into the flesh. Indeterminate, regular leaf plants are vigorous and very productive, typically ripening in about 75 to 85 days from transplant and benefiting from sturdy staking or caging. Fruits commonly weigh about 8 to 12 ounces, sometimes larger, with dense, juicy texture and a beautifully marbled interior. The flavor is lively and memorable, balancing sweetness with bright acidity and a fruity finish that makes it an exceptional slicer for sandwiches, salads, and farmers' market showstoppers.
