👨🌾 Editor’s Note: Siberian Bicolor Oxhearts
Don’t let the short thread fool you! Zoloto Khakasii belongs to a very elite group of tomatoes: Siberian bicolor oxhearts. Usually, massive sweet bicolors require a long, hot growing season to reach their full flavor potential (which is why many famous bicolors hail from the American South). Finding a true bicolor oxheart bred to withstand the shorter growing seasons and cooler nights of Siberia makes this variety a highly prized gem for Northern gardeners looking for that tropical, sweet flavor.
