Victor is a short-day (June-bearing) cultivar producing large, exceptionally firm fruit that resists postharvest handling damage. It performs best when fall-planted, with production concentrated in the shorter days of spring and fall, and yields about twice as much as Chandler. The variety does better under organic than conventional management, has good resistance to Fusarium wilt, and is moderately resistant to Phytophthora crown rot (moderately susceptible to Verticillium wilt and charcoal rot).
