Quick Summary of Paris
- 🌍 Origin: A beautiful and highly productive dark beefsteak variety known simply as “Paris”.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate, but relatively manageable in height. Growers report it reaching about 1.4 meters (~4.5 ft) in a greenhouse. The bush is strong and sturdy.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Produces large, dark/brown beefsteak tomatoes weighing 200-400g (7-14 oz). The interior is a deep brownish-red with dark undertones, very meaty, and practically seedless.
- 👅 Flavor & Storage: Exceptionally sweet and flavorful! The flesh is firm, giving it an excellent shelf life compared to many other dark heirloom varieties. Growers compare its dense texture to ‘Dwarf PPI’ and ‘Blue Trinkets’.
This variety is a true find—mega-productive, very tasty, with a predominately sweet flavor. Tall, strong plant, large fruits 200-400 grams (7-14 oz). In terms of ripening time, it is mid-season.

Yul, hi! It looks very much like Lavender Lake (Lavandovoye Ozero)… Have you grown that one?
Natasha, good evening! Yes, I’ve grown it. Lavender Lake had larger fruits and was bright red on the inside, but Paris definitely has black/dark undertones.
Paris.
A very tasty variety, indeterminate, fruits are firm and sweet, up to 300-400g (10.5-14 oz). They store well, and mine were almost completely seedless. Brown on the inside and outside. In terms of density and taste, it reminds me of the Dwarf PPI and Blue Trinkets (Golubye Pobryakushki) varieties.
