A commercial variety from Korea. Fairly compact plants that produce early in the season. In 2011, only Stupice produced earlier and only by a few days. Stupice is a Czech variety known for being early and not much else. Squarehead Pink is far superior in terms of taste. This variety is a moderate to heavy producer and is fairly resistant to hot, wet weather. Fruit is meaty and firm but not crunchy-hard like American commercial varieties. Taste is well balanced in terms of sweetness and acidity. Overall, a nice medium sized beefsteak. Appears to be a stabilized variety.
