It is widely grown by Russian collectors under the translated name &#8220;Chernyi Ananas&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate (tall), typically reaching 1.2\u20131.8 m (4\u20136 ft). It has regular leaf (RL) foliage. It is generally a strong and healthy plant, though it can be susceptible to Blossom End Rot (BER) early in the season if calcium is lacking.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Massive, oblate beefsteaks often weighing 300\u2013500 g (10.5\u201317.6 oz), and sometimes up to 1 kg (2.2 lbs). The exterior is a unique mix of greenish-brown, purple, and dark pink. The interior is stunning: a marbled kaleidoscope of pink, red, green, and yellow.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Extraordinarily sweet, fruity, and complex with almost no acidity. Many growers describe it as a &#8220;marmalade&#8221; or &#8220;dessert&#8221; tomato.<\/li>\n<li>\u26a0\ufe0f <strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> <strong>Do not wait for it to turn black or completely red!<\/strong> It stays mostly green\/brownish on the outside when ripe. Also, it has a very short shelf life\u2014pick and eat it quickly before it turns mushy on the vine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown this variety?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Click here to add your own photos and review below!<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">E<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Esme (Galina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (5,701 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Russia<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>A friend from another forum ordered seeds of this variety from Solana (Canada) and shared some with me.<\/p>\n<p>The color of the fruits is peculiar.
