Ukrainian Purple (aka Purple Russian)

Price range: $3.50 through $57.50

We joke that this could be Amish Paste’s purple sister from the Ukraine.  Original stock was from Irma Henkel.  Paste shaped fruits are 3-4” long and crack free.  Great flavor, sweet and very meaty.  Extremely productive.  Indeterminate, 75 days from transplant.
