And I am very pleased with this variety. It has everything: aesthetics, taste, and versatility. Some complain that it bursts in jars during canning \u2014 in my opinion, these fruits are just very thin-skinned. The size and color of the fruits are exactly as described by Korolev \u2014 80&#8230;100 g (2.8-3.5 oz), bright red, glossy, uniform, beautiful, and tasty. The leaf is a large potato leaf. I grew it in one stem, the tomato fruited without skipping any trusses.
