While often credited to Russian breeders (like N. Alexandrov or Egorov), some growers trace their seed lines back to Portuguese heirlooms. The name translates to &#8220;Alice&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate (tall), reaching 1.7\u20132.0 m (5.5\u20136.5 ft) in height. Like many classic oxhearts, it has wispy, slightly frail-looking foliage, but don&#8217;t be fooled\u2014it sets massive, heavy trusses of fruit.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> The true strain produces beautiful, elongated red oxhearts (though a rogue round\/pink variation exists in circulation). They weigh between 200\u2013400 g (7\u201314 oz) on average. The fruits are very dense, meaty, and contain very few seeds.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Universally praised for its rich, sweet flavor with very low acidity. Not bland at all.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83e\udd6b <strong>Best Uses:<\/strong> Great for fresh eating, but its firm, meaty texture also makes it fantastic for slicing and canning without falling apart.<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <strong>Maturity:<\/strong> Early to mid-season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\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\">V<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Valichka <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (707 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Alisa &#8211; \/variety from N.

It was one of the very first to ripen. The yield was average (but this year, due to herbicide drift from &#8220;Lontrel&#8221; on the grass, many tomatoes had curled leaves and showed a lower yield than their potential). The flavor is rich with sweetness. In terms of taste, it competed in our family with the Dwarf Pit Viper. A definite repeat. I will plant several roots this year. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t have good photos or a cross-section shot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_04\/Zw0SsyqV8G4.jpg.d24c465e1f6026c351539213cd8be853.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_04\/Zw0SsyqV8G4.thumb.jpg.8970debdfa25c5d980f30465b99e5a4d.jpg\" alt=\"Alisa red oxheart harvest\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">L<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">lesvicant (Vladimir) <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83c\udf31 Member (20 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Khabarovsk, Russia (USDA Zone 3\/4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>As already noted here, the Alisa tomato variety looks different for many people, and apparently, no one has the original one with a verified pedigree. So to speak, not everyone can show its passport. Well, I don&#8217;t have it either. I bought the seeds from Lidia Ganzen, and they are designated by her as Portuguese.<\/p>\n<p>I want to say right away that the potential of this variety is simply colossal. It created so many flowers that if they had all set and swelled, the bush would have sunk halfway into the ground.<\/p>\n<p>My yield was spotty, but the taste of the fruits didn&#8217;t disappoint\u2014beautiful, tasty pink hearts.
