For PW - Amish Paste

[SarzWix]

The first pic is of the first fruit to set, massive!!

The second pic, the Amish Paste are the plants on the right, as you can see, one truss has a LOT of fruit on it! Although not all ended up as big as that first one

They are about Snadger not believing that Amish paste were big enough to be thought of as Beefsteaks....although not sure where PW came into it though???

Cos I asked Sarzwix about them honey, I have a bag full of them there seeds to sow.

[zazen999]

Lucky you - they're fab.

[SarzWix]

Oh yeah, I forgot to say, the foliage ends up looking a bit 'scraggy', we thought there was something wrong with them at first, but as they kept on cropping we stopped worrying

[bramble]

Don't think they are listed as Beefsteak.
They are a good tom for making sauce if thats any help.

Would you like a few seeds Snadge? If you just want to give them a try, I could send you a few. PM me your address if you'd like some.

I gave these a try last year, I had to reinforce the canes by putting in stakes because the trusses got so heavy.

I had mine growing up wires and strings attached to the greenhouse frame, but had to add lots of extra strings
