Growers’ Notes and Photos (USDA Zones 4-6 Experience)
Description: Indet. Fruits are oblate, yellow with red stripes and spots, pink on the inside, very tasty, weighing up to 14 oz (400g). Mid-season. I really liked the variety; it turned out very productive in the greenhouse. Very few seeds, it’s pure meat. Delicious and sweet. 👍
I grew this wonderful variety for the third time. Indet, grew in the greenhouse pruned to 2 leaders, very productive. Fruits are large yellow-pink bicolors, oblate, weighing up to 2 lbs (900g) 👋 SOOOO tasty, nice sweetness, with a dense, jammy flesh 😋

Super variety, thanks Svetik. Sweet, juicy, yummy, and I say this as someone who usually isn’t a fan of bicolors. Basically, it converted me, I absolutely love bicolors now 😘
Mary Robinson’s German turned out productive and beautiful. It’s hard for me to judge the taste this year, since almost all my tomatoes ended up lacking in flavor and sweetness, with the exception of my dwarf varieties and Apricot Zebra Heart. This Mary also turned out a bit bland. I’m hoping it’s just the weather this year.

Oh, and Rebel Starfighter Prime was tasty too.
I really loved the variety, turned out highly productive both in the greenhouse and outdoors in the dirt. Sweet, tasty, and beautiful.

Full Summary: Plant Habit, Yields, and Sweetness
- 🌿 Plant & Foliage: Indeterminate, mid-season. Vigorous vines that handle pruning well (commonly pruned to 2 leaders). Performs equally well in poly tunnels/greenhouses and outdoors in the open dirt.
- 🍅 Fruit & Shape: Large, oblate beefsteaks. The skin is a vibrant yellow heavily striped and mottled with red, and the interior is a striking pink/yellow sunrise pattern. Averages 14 oz (400g) but easily reaches 2 lbs (900g) under optimal feeding.
- 📈 Yield & Health: Very productive for a large bicolor beefsteak. Reliable and vigorous.
- 👅 Taste: Universally praised for its intense, fruity sweetness. The flesh is dense, “jammy,” and highly meaty with very few seeds. It is famous for changing the minds of gardeners who normally find bicolors too mild or mushy.
