Seeds from NK Elit. Bushes up to a meter (3.3 ft), sturdy. Tomatoes from 250 to 700g (8.8 to 24 oz). Heart-shaped, but the large ones are uneven. Tasty, sweet, meaty, few seeds. Early. Collected seeds, will repeat.

Did you sucker (prune) them? I bought “Solnechnyi Mart” again, there was no other. Now I’ll probably want to look for some others…
Taste has a tang but is good. Juicy, meaty.
Fatima pleased me. Seeds from SvetaR. Height is really small, 50-60 cm (20-24 inches), good hearts with beaks. Tastes like a pleasant tomato. Will go for a repeat.

I grew the tall Fatima this year. Seeds from Korolevskiy Sad. Liked it, simply super! Productive, tasty. Many fruits in a truss (I didn’t thin them). Average weight was 300-400 g (10.5-14 oz).

Liked the variety very much. Grew outdoors in open ground. Productive and tasty hearts 200-300g (7-10.5 oz).
I will plant it again next year, so far I haven’t found an equal to plant alongside it. I’ve been planting it for 4 years in a row for sure. The bush must be tied up, large fruits can topple the plant. I can’t evaluate the yield. Everyone has their own criteria. If the tomatoes are 500g (1.1 lbs) each, then you get 3 fruits. If 350 g (12 oz) then 4 tomatoes. You definitely won’t harvest 4 kilograms (8.8 lbs) from a bush. Early as always. This year they were more sour. I repeat myself, but I haven’t found a better tomato yet. With good care, the tomatoes can be up to 700g (1.5 lbs).
Fatima. Pleased me very much in this difficult summer, one of the first indets to ripen. Pure tomato meat. Will definitely repeat. Seeds from Lyudmila.
I didn’t understand anything about Fatima, for some it’s tall, for others it’s short, det or indet? Most likely these are different Fatimas. I’ll plant it this year too. What will grow for me? Interesting.
Grew it for two years. Last year something incomprehensible grew, so I decided to repeat. This year Fatima pleased me. Grew in open ground. The fruits were large and sweet, no small ones. There were no green shoulders either, although many hearts sinned with this this season. I got the tall Fatima, although the packet said det, I partially suckered it and ended up with a jungle 🙈 Medium ripening time. Will definitely repeat, everyone liked the taste.
Tomato Fatima (Late Blight Resistant) – Seed Packet Translation
A wonderful early-ripening (90-100 days) large-fruited dessert variety. The plant is sturdy and short (determinate), growing 40-60 cm (16-24 inches) tall. The fruits are heart-shaped and pale pink in color.
The taste of the fruit is excellent—truly sweet and fresh, on par with the famous “Rozovyi Myod” (Pink Honey) variety. The flesh is meaty and juicy. Ripe fruits can reach a weight of 400-600 g (14-21 oz), and they do not crack either on the vine or after picking.
It features a long fruiting period that can extend well into September. Resistant to late blight (Phytophthora). Highly recommended for making fresh salads, juices, and tomato paste.
Hello. Mine grew under a canopy. Over 1.5 m (5 ft) tall. The fruits are indeed quite large. But inside, for me, it had empty cavities. Therefore, it was softish on the outside. The taste turned out mediocre.
Fatima
In my greenhouse – a short indet, grew it for several years in two stems, always an excellent result, quite an early variety, pink meaty hearts up to 300-400g (10.5-14 oz), very tasty, almost seedless.

Hello. I’m new, although I’ve been reading the forum for a long time. I sowed Fatima from the exact same packet, but I got potato leaves (PL). Is this an off-type or possibly a segregation? Has anyone else experienced this?

I also got potato leaves from the same packet, apparently, we are going to grow an unknown beast.

Mine has regular leaves and the photo on the packet shows round fruits, but here everyone is writing about hearts… Mysteries with this Fatima.

So I’m also wondering, what grew for you? What kind of leaves did it have?

Last year didn’t work out. I finally sowed Fatima only this year. A regular indet with a regular leaf, now I just have to look at the fruits. Blooming for now.

My potato-leaf Fatima formed buds a month after sowing. I sowed late – April 14 (that’s when I received the seeds), noticed a bud on May 14 and planted it out on the 19th. Didn’t expect such speed, some indets sown on March 10 are still without buds.
Please write when it becomes clear what shape the fruits are, are they hearts?

My potato-leaf “Fatima” (in quotes for now) from the exact same packet as Lyudmila’s turned out to be a det, which I am very happy about. The fruit shape is not visible yet, planted it late.
I haven’t figured out my potato-leaf one yet, it’s just starting to set fruit.
I have 2 bushes of Fatima growing and both of them have flat-round (oblate) first 2 fruits on the first trusses, and the 3rd one has some heart-shape to it, but it is still very small, hard to see. Perhaps the ones higher up will be more heart-shaped.
