Out in the open ground, it reached about 4 feet (1.2 m), but will grow taller in a greenhouse. Generally a mid-season variety.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Large, oblate (flat-round) beefsteaks. There is some variation in the seed lines: some growers get classic red fruits, while seeds sourced from Kulik produce large raspberry-pink fruits weighing 10.5-14 oz (300-400 g).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Texture:<\/strong> The red version has a classic, old-fashioned tomato flavor. The pink version, however, is praised for being incredibly sweet and meaty, with that sought-after granular (&#8220;sparkling&#8221;) texture in the flesh. Rated by one grower as one of the best-tasting tomatoes of the year!<\/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\">Svetlyachok-plyus (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,450 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Tall plant.
