Girls! I have a photo in cross-section – it’s just a bit blurry – it’s not very clear how many cavities are there.
Elena_Ch sent me the seeds – on her packet it was written that the variety is from Bulgaria.
I grow Easter Eggs outdoors. Plant height 1.7 m (5.5 ft). They don’t get sick, store well. Meaty, sturdy, mine are all two-chambered.
Seeds from Dukhov (Ukraine). The name from the seller is Easter Eggs (Paskhalnie Yaitsa).
- External description of the bush: mid-early variety, sprawling, sturdy indeterminate.
- Fruit set – without skipping, fruits are still ripening.
- Bush height on August 3 – about 1.4 m (4.5 ft), on September 6 – 1.6 m (5.2 ft).
- Clusters – dense, 5-6 fruits each.
- Fruit: egg-shaped, red with yellow stripes, very beautiful, late ones get smaller but become sweeter.
- Density of the ripe fruit – high (you can safely use it both for fresh eating and for jars).
- Taste – juicy, meaty, tasty, sweetness is a solid 4+.
First impression: tasty, beautiful, versatile tomato.
Rating: seedling – 5+, bush – 4, fruit – 4, overall rating of the variety – 4.
I grew it in 2012:
The Easter Egg variety in the greenhouse was tall (2 meters / 6.5 ft), productive, mid-early. Medium-sized fruits, red with orange stripes, barrel-shaped. Very tasty, juicy, and sweet.
A wonderful little tomato. A tall indeterminate, for me it was mid-early. Painted, exactly like Easter eggs, 50 g (1.8 oz) each. Ordinary taste. Good for marinating in liter jars, the skin doesn’t slip off, although I do make small cuts.
And when cut open, there really are crosses.
I planted this variety again this year. Mid-season, height 1m 70 (5.5 ft). Managed it in two stems. It sets clusters very well. A beautiful, meaty little tomato. Good for canning. Weight 40-50 gr (1.5-1.8 oz). In the photo, the tomatoes are still green, then when ripe they are very beautiful :yep: red with golden stripes. The variety was sent from the Baltics.
Growing outdoors. Unpretentious, not sickly. Boundlessly tall, just keeps setting and setting fruit (it’s a pity there’s nowhere higher to tie it up to). Very beautiful fruits. Planted it for the first time, fell in love. In theory, Blush (Stydlivy Rumyanets) is growing nearby, and it loses heavily compared to the Egg.
I also had the chance to grow Easter Egg. Grew in the greenhouse. Height about 2 meters (6.5 ft). Veeeery productive variety. Out of greed, I planted half the greenhouse with it in 2019. The fruits are dense. Tasty when eaten fresh, but I didn’t like them in pickling (canning). The fruits are very dense… you have to bite into them. But I like it differently… I prefer tomatoes that you can just take from the jar and “drink” (suck the soft flesh/juice out)…. therefore I only plant no more than two bushes for fresh consumption. The variety is disease-resistant. And a handsome guy, of course.
