Identification??
Can anyone identify this plant: very productive medium uniform fruit 6 oz. or so, seems indeterminate ( just keeps on growing and producing). I miss marked some like Sophies Choice and maybe?? a Defiant PhR?? The fruits do turn red when fully ripe and a bit more uniform than the photo shows.

Never grew either of them, but theoretically:
1. I'd expect Sophie's choice to taste better than Defiant. 2. Sophie's Choice is supposed to be reddish orange outside and red inside. |

Thanks Nan, I will learn to mark and pay attention at the same time - the sooner the better I will look at leaves and try again - this is what I brought in house to add to this many inside after picking today, prob the last large haul of my life - will plant fewer next year(1/2) too much work!!

Looks like Sophie's Choice, I grow it every year. I have some that look just like that. I have never grown the other one, though.

It's not Sophie's Choice, a very compact determinate.

Yeah, those don't look like my Sophie's Choice. Mine are pink, medium, squat beefsteaks on a short, determinate plant. Delicious, though, so I grow them every year. I'm not familiar with your other option.

Thanks All! Would it help to say that the seeds I fermented went right through the holes - they were tiny! Also, the growth did appear to be determinate but after a late high N fertilizer ( for the heck of it and experimentation ) the plant did the extra 2' sideways on a few suckers or tops
