Plants are indeterminate, vigorous, 160-180 cm (5.2-5.9 ft) tall. Fruits are oblate, large, multi-chambered, meaty, with a small amount of seeds. The color of ripe tomatoes is pink-crimson. Average tomato weight is 200-250 g (7-8.8 oz); the first fruits easily reach 500-600 g (1-1.3 lbs). Thanks to its high taste qualities, the fruits are ideal for fresh consumption and processing into juice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"display: flex; gap: 10px; flex-wrap: wrap; margin-top: 15px;\">\n<figure style=\"margin: 0; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/24\/12397-120714142309.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/24\/thumb_12397-120714142309.jpeg\" alt=\"Andreevsky Surprise grown by cat2008\" width=\"160\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a><figcaption style=\"font-size: 0.8em; color: #666;\">Photo by: cat2008<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"margin: 0; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/44\/657-071214065154.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/44\/thumb_657-071214065154.png\" alt=\"Andreevsky Surprise grown by Angelina\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><figcaption style=\"font-size: 0.8em; color: #666;\">Photo by: Angelina<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"margin: 0; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/17\/5262-050614042046.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/17\/thumb_5262-050614042046.jpeg\" alt=\"Andreevsky Surprise grown by Yanina\" width=\"160\" height=\"146\" \/><\/a><figcaption style=\"font-size: 0.8em; color: #666;\">Photo by: Yanina<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.85em; color: #777;\"><em>Edited January 24, 2015 by Drosera<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">K<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Karamel (Irina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (2,004 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Tver Region (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Large, meaty, and delicious. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/82\/14296-090815151833.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/82\/thumb_14296-090815151833.jpeg\" alt=\"Andreevsky Surprise harvested by Irina\" width=\"89\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/82\/14296-090815152223.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/82\/thumb_14296-090815152223.jpeg\" alt=\"Andreevsky Surprise tomato slice\" width=\"89\" height=\"160\" \/><\/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\">Svetlyachok-plus (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,450 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Russia<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Very tasty, sweet, and meaty.
