Regular leaf. The fruits are large, beautiful, bright yellow-orange with red marbling.<\/p>\n<p>It grew outdoors in the open ground. It was planted late, and on top of that, it suffered a bit of frost in June, so it didn&#8217;t reveal its full yield potential. The official description states very good yield, and I think this variety would perform better in a greenhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Outdoors, two trusses managed to ripen, each with 2-3 fruits weighing 200-300 grams (7-10.5 oz). The taste is very good, balanced, with both sweetness and tartness. I will definitely grow it again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/147\/111-230916121059.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/147\/111-230916121059.jpeg\" alt=\"Sliced Alleghany Sunset tomato showing bicolor interior\" width=\"456\" height=\"370\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/147\/111-230916121045.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/147\/111-230916121045.jpeg\" alt=\"Large yellow and red bicolor tomato\" width=\"497\" height=\"334\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">Y<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Yulya (Yulia) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (26,992 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Alexandrov area (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>I got the seeds from Lena Danko. Her description was:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Indeterminate, vigorous bush. Bicolor fruits with a rosy skin, exceptionally tasty. I don&#8217;t usually like bicolors, but this one is truly delicious. Meaty, heavy fruits. They can be in the shape of blunt hearts with ribbing, or more broadly rounded (oblate), also with ribs on the sides. Fruit weight is from 250 to 450g (8.8 to 16 oz). The tastiest of all bicolors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is not a tomato, it&#8217;s a fruit! Very tasty, sweet. The flavor is rich. There are few seeds. Quite productive.
