A tall (indeterminate) mid-season tomato with large oblate orange fruits and a sweet flavor. Regular tomato leaf. About 2 to 5 flowers per truss.<\/p>\n<p>I grew this tomato for the first time in 2019. Pruned it to 2 or 3 stems. In my opinion, it&#8217;s a highly productive variety. The plant that I pruned to 3 stems gave a maximum yield of 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg), but the other plants also yielded over 6.6 lbs (3 kg). Fruit weight varied from 5.6 to 22 oz (159-623 g). The average fruit weight was anywhere from 7 to 10.5 oz (200 to 300 g).<\/p>\n<p>I picked fruits at various stages of ripeness, and after letting them finish ripening in boxes indoors, it didn&#8217;t affect their flavor at all. Photos attached. I don&#8217;t have a ton of experience growing tomatoes, but I rate the flavor a solid 10 out of 10.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2019_12\/IMG_20190816_123713.jpg.0021aed3c7fae8e33be2c5fd700a32b5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 300px; width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2019_12\/IMG_20190816_123713.thumb.jpg.f787ade19f8366a1fd87e5d4320244e4.jpg\" alt=\"Volf Zossi orange tomatoes on the vine\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/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\">Valentina 54 (Valentina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83d\udc64 Member<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2018_11\/large.462-270714154722.jpeg.969f6175d19cd4b10f931d1c7328eee4.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px; width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2018_11\/large.462-270714154722.jpeg.969f6175d19cd4b10f931d1c7328eee4.jpeg\" alt=\"Large harvested Wolf Zossi orange tomato\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/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\">m_Kallista <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83d\udc64 Member<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/234\/15021-090818075444.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px; width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/234\/15021-090818075444.jpeg\" alt=\"Sliced orange Wolf Zossi beefsteak tomato\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Volf Zossi (Wolf Zossi) \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A variety originating from Germany.
