Rita’s Black currently out of stock

Description

Plants had both pear-shaped and beefsteak fruit and lots of each. // HISTORY: Val and Dan McMurray (B.C MC D), who actively exchanged seeds with European growers, asked Rita De Clereq in Belgium to try and get hold of some of the local Belgium “heirlooms” or family varieties when they started trading with her. She found four varieties, two of which appeared to be the same, and which were later named Belgian Farmer’s Beefsteak, Belgian Pounder and Belgian Heart, as the original names have long since been forgotten. Rita’s Black was a sport of Belgian Pounder, and it was named after Rita De Clereq.
