A vigorous and robust plant that performs well both in greenhouses and outdoors in open ground.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Large oblate beefsteaks, typically weighing 7-14 oz (200-400g), with some reaching over a pound. The color is a milky\/creamy yellow-white with delicate pale pink striping or blushing at the blossom end.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Universally praised on the forums for its incredible taste. Unlike many white tomatoes that can be bland, this one packs a very bright, intense, old-fashioned tomato flavor mixed with distinct fruity (melon-like) notes and high sweetness.<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <strong>Yield &amp; Growing Traits:<\/strong> Generally a mid-to-late season ripener. It is a heavy yielder. Growers disagree slightly on its shelf life\u2014some say it spoils quickly, while others note it holds up surprisingly well thanks to a thin but sturdy skin.<\/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\">J<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">ZhavoronoK (Ekaterina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (3,619 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Moscow Region (Yaroslavl Highway direction) (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p><em>Vendor&#8217;s description:<\/em> Indet.

I loved it so much, it was the discovery of the 2017 season! A successful combination of beauty, large fruit size, high yield, and great taste. Dense, buttery, not bland at all, it developed a perfectly balanced flavor (grown in clay soil). I&#8217;m so glad I finally made friends with white tomatoes. I&#8217;m thinking of planting more of it, though its late-season maturity makes me hesitate slightly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/195\/10189-131017151505.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/195\/thumb_10189-131017151505.jpeg\" alt=\"Large white beefsteak tomato\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/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\">irysska <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83c\udf31 Member (291 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>One of my absolute favorites of 2018 \u2014 beautiful, prolific, and sooooo sweet! The fruits didn&#8217;t grow into massive giants, mostly staying in the 14-17 oz (400-500g) range, but they were incredibly delicious. Another thing I love about it \u2014 outdoors in open ground, the bushes stayed at about 3.5 ft (1.1 m). I will definitely plant it again in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><em>Edited January 8, 2019 by irysska<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2019_01\/IMG_20180825_110952.jpg.215e20a32311de2cc6fa930de98f8426.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2019_01\/IMG_20180825_110952.thumb.jpg.5997b00202ca99da6dd4f517d643cda8.jpg\" alt=\"Gorgeous pale yellow white tomato\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2019_01\/IMG_20180822_165158.jpg.2d01c0b924bbffc2192aa014494746ec.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2019_01\/IMG_20180822_165158.thumb.jpg.fb47f7e582b3c68dd1557fb8c5a73d21.jpg\" alt=\"Large white heirloom tomato on scale\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2019_01\/IMG_20180831_174220_1.jpg.880eab546c758fbf6386eb1398378b84.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2019_01\/IMG_20180831_174220_1.thumb.jpg.d7680bbdb8f388ca2a5cbf148d8dfca9.jpg\" alt=\"Big White Pink Stripes cross section\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">Y<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Yulya (Yulia) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (27,032 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Alexandrov Suburbs (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>I also got it under the translated name &#8220;Large White Stripes&#8221;.

I wouldn&#8217;t call it pure white, it&#8217;s more of a milky-yellow, and I could barely find any stripes on it. BUT THE TASTE!!!! Sweet, aromatic, mmmmm, reminded me of eating a melon. I ate almost all of them myself, I literally couldn&#8217;t walk past without grabbing one to eat. Turned out to be the best-tasting tomato of the year for me, standing out among many other wonderful varieties! Mid-early, yield is a solid 4 out of 5, fruits were 7-14 oz (200-400 g). Definite repeat!<\/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\">Luba51 (Lyubov) <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83c\udf31 Member (188 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Moscow Region (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>The tastiest tomato of this season, the discovery of the year!<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t notice any stripes, the color is milky-yellow, falling into the &#8220;white-fruited&#8221; category.<\/p>\n<p>Sweetness, tanginess, and a distinct fruity undertone (the first time I&#8217;ve ever tasted that in a tomato), it&#8217;s the very first yellow\/white tomato that actually tastes genuinely delicious to me! It blew all the striped, pink, and red ones out of the water, and what&#8217;s crazy is that absolutely every single fruit on both bushes was equally delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Permanent grow list, definite repeat, multiple bushes next time \u2014 two turned out to be way too few. In my opinion, it is a truly unique variety!<\/p>\n<p>I disagree with the statement that it &#8220;doesn&#8217;t store well at all&#8221;. It actually holds up decently on the counter; the skin is thin but sturdy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Edited August 20, 2024 by Luba51<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Big White Pink Stripes \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A classic heirloom variety.
