Growers’ Notes and Photos (USDA Zone 4 Experience)
Got my seeds from V. Redko, first time growing this one. Grew it in the greenhouse. Indeterminate, reached all the way up to the greenhouse roof. The vine is very slender with sparse, wispy foliage. Yields were outstanding, but the plant actually snapped its twine and the main stems broke right off under the weight of the fruit. The bottom trusses managed to ripen, but I had to toss the rest of the tomatoes. The base of the plant is actually still sitting in the greenhouse, looks green and hasn’t completely dried up, but it never threw out any new suckers.
Fruits are heart-shaped, very pale yellow, and huge. Flavor is good with tender, buttery flesh, but it didn’t quite make it to ‘excellent’, I’d give it a 4 out of 5. I just sliced off a piece here to taste it.

Very productive tomato. I didn’t manage to get my soil properly prepped in time because of the pandemic, so my plant was pretty scrawny, but even despite that it still set quite a lot of fruit. Here is a video of the slicing and taste test.
Full Summary: Plant, Yield, Taste and Storage
- 🌿 Plant: Indeterminate and tall, reaching the top of a greenhouse. The vines are slender and feature sparse, wispy foliage. Because the plant is spindly but produces massive fruits, it requires extremely secure tying and support. The fruits are large, pale yellow oxhearts.
- 📈 Yield: Excellent and very heavy. Both growers noted it produces an impressive amount of fruit, even when grown in poorly prepped soil.
- 👅 Taste: Good, with a tender and buttery flesh. Rated 4 out of 5 by Sofia.
- 🌎 Who Reviewed It: 2 growers contributed to this thread, including one in USDA Zone 4.
