📌 Quick Summary (TL;DR): Almaty Yellow Tulip (Almatinskiy Zheltyi Tyulpan)
- 🌍 Origin: The gorgeous yellow sister-variety to the Red Tulip, bred in the Almaty region (city of Esik), Kazakhstan, by the highly acclaimed breeder Vitaliy Gennadievich Alifirov.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate (very tall) and mid-season. Just like its red counterpart, it features Potato Leaf (PL) foliage. The breeder specifically recommends pruning this variety to 4 main stems to unlock its massive yield potential.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Bright yellow, plum/tulip-shaped paste tomatoes weighing 60-100g (2-3.5 oz). They have thick walls that make them highly crack-resistant, especially during the canning process.
- 👅 Flavor & Use: Boasts a uniquely sweet flavor for a paste-type tomato. While great for fresh salads, the breeder highly recommends using it to make premium yellow ketchup or rich yellow tomato juice.
