Some time ago, I read that this variety was in Tatiana Kouchnareva&#8217;s top 10 for taste, so I really wanted to plant it. The seeds were from 2012, given to me by Tatiana (Tomatanya).<\/p>\n<p>For me, the variety turned out to be mid-season. The bush wasn&#8217;t very vigorous (unfortunately, it got a very bad spot in the greenhouse). Indeterminate, with potato leaves. The yield wasn&#8217;t very high, and the fruits weren&#8217;t very large. But the magnificent taste completely made up for these shortcomings.<\/p>\n<p>The fruits are a rich pink-raspberry color, beefsteak type. Meaty and juicy, with a high sugar content and a rich aroma. It is exactly the flavor I love. I will definitely plant it again in the future, giving it a good spot and paying more attention to it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/186\/14878-090817175429.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/186\/14878-090817175429.jpeg\" alt=\"Boondocks tomato grown in Spain\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/188\/14878-160817135852.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/188\/14878-160817135852.jpeg\" alt=\"Beautiful pink-raspberry Boondocks tomato slice\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">I<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">ilja (Ilya) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (758 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Klinsky District, Moscow Region (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>My <em>Boondocks<\/em> turned out productive in the greenhouse, reaching a height of 1.5 meters (5 ft).
