Even though many have grown it and praised it.<\/p>\n<p>I got my seeds from Angelina. Description: Mid-season, indeterminate variety with a long fruiting period until frost. Bush height around 2 meters (6.5 ft). Healthy plants produce a huge crop of tasty, meaty, low-seed fruits.<\/p>\n<p>At first, this variety disappointed me. It started showing severe leaf roll, set just a couple of fruits at the bottom, and then just stalled. I was upset, of course. But suddenly, in the middle of the season, it bounced back, rapidly grew its stem, and loaded up a decent amount of very cute &#8220;icicles&#8221; (elongated plums). And wow, were they sweet!!! Simply a miracle! And you know what kind of summer we had. I think in normal weather, this would be a super-productive plant.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_10\/1-1.jpg.611c4efd315ba64ceb908cf9ac9a9903.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_10\/1-1.thumb.jpg.549868885823eed7ee662acf52c386b1.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful elongated red Coeur Fondant tomatoes on vine\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_10\/1-2.jpg.bf19c21321cdbc6e59ba6d579763a525.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_10\/1-2.thumb.jpg.36264498247cfae51957895df7cca9c5.jpg\" alt=\"Coeur Fondant truss ripening\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/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\">Svetikk (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (29,359 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Moscow Region, Stupinsky District (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p><strong>Fondant Heart (Coeur Fondant, France).<\/strong> An excellent variety, my find of the season! \ud83d\ude04 Indeterminate, grew in the greenhouse in 2 stems.
