📌 Quick Summary (TL;DR): Bychie Serdtse Kanarskoe (Canary Oxheart)
- 🌍 Origin: The exact history and origin of this variety are unclear. The name translates to “Canary Oxheart.” It is circulated among Russian growers from domestic private seed collections (such as Ananyeva’s line).
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate. Shows average vigor and reaches about 5.5 ft (1.7 m) in a greenhouse. Notably, it does not have the frail, “wispy” foliage that is typical of many oxheart varieties.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Excellent, dense pink oxhearts. The flesh is very meaty and juicy with few seeds. Fruits typically weigh up to 400g (14 oz).
- 👅 Flavor: Very good, sweet tomato flavor.
- ⏳ Maturity & Yield: Mid-season, though growers note it is often one of the first indeterminate varieties to start ripening. Productive and shows good disease resistance.

Hey, what a beauty! Svetik, is it for the greenhouse or open ground? What’s the plant height and how is it on maturity time?
Any disease issues? And is the plant vigorous or wispy/thin?

Mine grew in the greenhouse. It’s a standard indeterminate with average vigor, not wispy. It topped out around 1.7m (5.5 ft). No disease issues, mid-season.
