Highly crack-resistant.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Generally sweet and balanced, though it can lean toward the mild\/bland side depending on your soil and weather.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Growing Tip:<\/strong> Growers note that this variety is particularly <em>potassium hungry<\/em>. If you notice yellowing leaf margins or uneven ripening, be sure to hit it with a high-potassium fertilizer (like kelp meal, wood ash, or a dedicated tomato bloom feed).<\/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\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Sofiya 27 (Sofia) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (2,154 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Seeds from V. Redko, growing it for the first time. I have one bush growing in each of my greenhouses. Indet (indeterminate), mid-season maturity. The plants aren&#8217;t wimpy at all, they are actually quite vigorous. The yield is excellent, 4-7 fruits per truss, heart-shaped, pink, pretty large. Fruit weight ranges from 5.3 to 21 oz (150 up to 600 g).<\/p>\n<p>The fruits are tasty, even the very first ones had good flavor, not bland at all. The taste is balanced, you can really taste the sweetness. I liked the variety, will definitely try growing it again next year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/13683-130716073529.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/thumb_13683-130716073529.jpeg\" alt=\"Hungarian Oval tomato thumbnail\" width=\"89\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/129\/13683-070716234218.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/129\/thumb_13683-070716234218.jpeg\" alt=\"Hungarian Oval thumbnail\" width=\"89\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/132\/13683-170716234451.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/132\/thumb_13683-170716234451.jpeg\" alt=\"Pink Hungarian Oval thumbnail\" width=\"89\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/132\/13683-180716000852.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/132\/thumb_13683-180716000852.jpeg\" alt=\"Sliced Hungarian Oval tomato thumbnail\" width=\"160\" height=\"89\" \/><\/a><\/div>\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\">Lena 18 (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83c\udf31 Member (276 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Early season.
