📌 Quick Summary (TL;DR)
- 🌍 Origin: A beautiful and productive heirloom oxheart variety.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate, mid-to-late season. It shows excellent disease resistance. Highly adaptable—while it grows well in a greenhouse, some growers from colder northern regions report that it performs and feels even better when grown outdoors in open ground!
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Large, classic pointed oxhearts with slight ribbing. The color is a lovely bright pinkish-red. The flesh is extremely dense, meaty, and satisfying.
- 👅 Flavor: Very sweet and delicious. Grower tip: The flavor profile can evolve; early fruits might have a standard (but pleasant) tomato taste, while mid-to-late summer harvests develop a rich, dominant sweetness.
- ⏳ Yield & Climate: A very heavy yielder, thriving remarkably well even in the harsh climates of the Ural Mountains and Northern Russia.

A mid-season, closer to late, indeterminate salad variety. The fruits are beautiful red-pink pointed hearts, slightly ribbed. The taste evolved from a regular (but quite pleasant) tomato flavor to a very good one with distinct sweetness. Good yield.
I really liked this variety. It grew both in the greenhouse and outdoors in open ground. It actually felt even better in the open ground! Excellent, meaty, sweet, and large fruits! Very productive and resistant to diseases.
