It was introduced to the gardening world by Craig LeHoullier. In Russia, it&#8217;s known as &#8220;Burrakerskie Lyubimtsy&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate. The plant is notorious for having somewhat &#8220;wimpy&#8221; or sparse foliage, which makes you wonder how it can support such heavy loads. It can be a bit finicky and is known to drop blossoms in extreme heat.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Massive, gorgeous bi-color beefsteaks (golden yellow marbled with ruby red). Fruits frequently hit the 1 to 2 lb mark (500g &#8211; 1kg+). First fruits on the bottom trusses can sometimes be catfaced or wonky.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Legendary. It has an intensely sweet, fruity, and complex flavor with almost zero acidity. Many growers rate it as one of the best-tasting tomatoes they&#8217;ve ever grown.<\/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\">M<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Marishka (Marina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (2,330 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Finally got to my absolute favorites \ud83d\ude42.

They ended up pumping out no less than 30 tomatoes each (when I counted the first one, there were 32, and they kept growing later), weighing between 7 and 12 oz (200-350g).

Been growing it for a few years. One year, a single bush pumped out massive, gorgeous, and tasty RASPBERRY-PINK tomatoes. Saved the seeds separately but never got around to planting &#8217;em. Still don&#8217;t know what that was\u2014a cross, segregation, or if weather triggered it. The coloring of bi-colors changes drastically based on conditions (sun, intense heat).<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, for the second year in a row, they are setting poorly in my greenhouse; it&#8217;s just too hot for them in our climate. In the dirt (outdoors), yield was great this year, but the first two bottom trusses turned out totally catfaced and wonky.<\/p>\n<p>Pic is of the first truss. Didn&#8217;t photograph the upper ones.
