Growers’ Notes and Photos
Probably the absolute sweetest tomato I grew this season. It’s an indet vine, but mine turned out pretty scrawny, only hitting about 5 ft (1.5 m) tall. Yields were low, though that might just be my own fault for neglecting it a bit.
The fruits are flat-round, orange with a little pink blush on top. Super sweet, but on the smaller side for me, sitting around 5-7 oz (150-200 g). I’m gonna try to dial it in and tame this one again next year. Huge shoutout to Tanya (TatianKa) for the seeds! 🌺

Grown from the Orange Berry seeds Oksana sent me (bless her for sending them! 😘 🌺). Delicious, a heavy yielder, and just gorgeous 👍! Every single tomato I picked was 1.1 lbs (500 g) or bigger. I’m absolutely growing this one again 🙂
Full Summary: Plant, Yield, Taste, and Looks
- 🌿 Plant & Looks: An indeterminate heirloom that produces gorgeous orange, flat-round slicers with a distinct pink blush (often radiating from the blossom end into the flesh). The plant itself has a somewhat scrawny, wispy habit, which can trick growers into thinking it’s struggling when it’s actually just the natural genetics of the vine.
- 📈 Yield & Variations: Yield and size vary wildly depending on the garden. One grower had low yields and 5-7 oz (150-200 g) fruits, while another grower—using seeds from that exact same plant line—got heavy yields where every single tomato topped 1.1 lbs (500 g). Proper soil fertility and pruning make a massive difference with this variety.
- 👅 Taste: Universally praised for its flavor. It is highlighted as being one of the absolute sweetest tomatoes in the garden, making it a top-tier fresh eater.
