It is named in honor of AH Scorpii, a red supergiant in the constellation Scorpius, which has a radius of about 1,411 times that of the sun and is one of the largest known stars.<\/p>\n<p>It is one of nine varieties created by Dale and named after various stars. Dale sent it to me for testing, and it proved to be genetically stable. It&#8217;s a mid-season, tall, indeterminate variety. The stem is powerful and sturdy, and the plants are very healthy. The fruits are exceptionally large, weighing up to a kilogram (2.2 lbs). Interestingly, the fruits on the lower trusses are broad and flat-round (oblate), while those on the upper trusses are rounded-heart shaped (blunt hearts). Meaty, sweet, and with very few seeds.<\/p>\n<p>The entire Star Series includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>R Leporis<\/li>\n<li>U Lacertae<\/li>\n<li>RW Cephei<\/li>\n<li>AH Scorpii<\/li>\n<li>Westerlund 1<\/li>\n<li>KY Cygni<\/li>\n<li>RS Persei<\/li>\n<li>EV Carinae<\/li>\n<li>CW Leonis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_12\/large.1113371912_IMG_6502-800x800.png.823669a92a18cd09eb2eb224a64001cc.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_12\/large.1113371912_IMG_6502-800x800.png.823669a92a18cd09eb2eb224a64001cc.png\" alt=\"AH Scorpii giant red tomato\" width=\"371\" height=\"265\" \/><\/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\">Shevyachok (Lyudmila) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (12,050 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Omsk Region, Siberia, Zone 3<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>The taste is absolutely exquisite!
