Highly prized by Russian collectors who often translate the name to &#8220;Chernogorskiy&#8221; or &#8220;Pink from Black Mountain&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate, vigorous, and tall. Growers note that it can be a bit slow to start in the spring (&#8220;takes a while to get going&#8221;), but once established, it builds a powerful bush. Pruning to 2 or 3 stems is recommended.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Stunning, very large, slightly ribbed, oblate pink\/raspberry beefsteaks. Weight easily reaches over 1 lb (500 g).<\/li>\n<li>\u26a0\ufe0f <strong>Agronomic Tip:<\/strong> Because the fruits are so massive, the plant is a heavy feeder. If it lacks potassium during heatwaves, the fruits can develop hard white internal fibers (&#8220;tough cores&#8221;) or yellow shoulders, and the flavor may turn bland. Make sure to feed it well!<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor Profile:<\/strong> When well-fed and sun-ripened, the taste is outstanding\u2014very sweet, juicy, and beautiful to look at. Often considered one of the best-tasting tomatoes of the season by those who grow it.<\/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\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Semechka (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (23,539 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Krasnoyarsk Suburbs, Siberia (USDA Zone 3)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>The tastiest tomato of 2014.<br \/>\nYield is above average, but it took a long time to get going.<br \/>\nRound fruit with slight ribbing.<br \/>\nI pruned it to two stems, and it set a total of 11 clusters on those two stems.<br \/>\nIndeterminate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/105\/7892-140116051653.jpeg\" alt=\"Perfect large Black Mountain Pink tomato\" width=\"664\" height=\"986\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">D<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Dzhina (Evgenia) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (6,798 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Svetlana, how many stems should I prune it to if growing outdoors in open ground?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Semechka (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (23,539 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Krasnoyarsk Suburbs, Siberia (USDA Zone 3)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<blockquote style=\"border-left: 4px solid #ccc; margin-left: 0; padding-left: 15px; font-style: italic; background: #f4f4f4; padding: 10px;\"><p><strong>Quote from Dzhina:<\/strong><br \/>\nSvetlana, how many stems should I prune it to if growing outdoors in open ground?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Evgenia, how many stems do you usually do?

It stretched out very badly during the seedling stage compared to other varieties. Planted in the greenhouse on May 25th. Took a long time to get going, set its first fruits at the end of July. I didn&#8217;t notice any special yield. I picked them green. By the time they ripened, there were already many other tomatoes. And it kind of got lost in the background. I must say that I didn&#8217;t feed it with anything.

The bush is very powerful. Fruits from 1.1 lbs (500 grams) and up. It sets fruit right up to the frosts, the bush is tall, probably about 6.5 ft (2 meters). The color of the fruit is raspberry-pink. I wonder if it&#8217;s the exact same variety or different ones?
