The name &#8220;Tsarsky&#8221; translates to &#8220;Royal&#8221; or &#8220;Tsar&#8217;s&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate. A massive, towering vine that loves to climb. Shows excellent resistance to Leaf Mold (Cladosporium) and extreme heat, but generally requires a greenhouse to reach its full potential in cooler northern climates.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Depending on the seed source, you will either get a red, smooth plum tomato, or a pinkish-raspberry plum with a distinct &#8220;beak&#8221; (point) on the blossom end. Both strains typically weigh between 3 to 5 oz (80\u2013150g).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Texture:<\/strong> Dense, meaty, and very juicy for a paste tomato. The flavor is highly rated as sweet and balanced, avoiding the blandness common in many processing types.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83e\udd6b <strong>Best Uses:<\/strong> An elite canning tomato that holds its shape perfectly in jars. Also fantastic for fresh eating and late-season indoor storage.<\/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\">E<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">ElenaN (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (28,513 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Kostroma, Russia (USDA Zone 3\/4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Mid-season. The vines are incredibly vigorous and powerful, true indeterminates. Trusses hold 8-10 oval tomatoes with a cute little point on the end. Average weight is around 3.5 to 4 oz (100 &#8211; 120g). They are firm, gorgeous, and the absolute perfect size, texture, and shape for canning. Plus, they store really well and taste great in salads! Bulletproof against bad weather and disease. And a huge yielder! Absolute standout variety for me this year! Even though I planted late on May 4th, it still managed to set 5 full trusses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58000_230875ef1454de2f74e6af7c15859ba0811686b6.jpg\" alt=\"Large truss of pink De Barao Tsarsky tomatoes\" width=\"432\" height=\"509\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">E<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">ElenaN (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (28,513 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Kostroma, Russia (USDA Zone 3\/4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Continued<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58002_dd56fcd695ae9521ef6f14bf28332a0566b8eeb3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58002_dd56fcd695ae9521ef6f14bf28332a0566b8eeb3.jpg\" alt=\"De Barao Tsarsky firm plum tomato\" width=\"434\" height=\"403\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58004_b1a38a73c10c010c044ca109745f709af08fa62c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58004_b1a38a73c10c010c044ca109745f709af08fa62c.jpg\" alt=\"Meaty cross section of De Barao Royal tomato\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" \/><\/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\">Vera <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Grower (466 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Lena, is the color red or pink?<\/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\">Lidiya <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (16,152 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Lena, your photos make me want to grow it right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">E<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">ElenaN (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (28,513 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Kostroma, Russia (USDA Zone 3\/4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>It&#8217;s a really deep, rich pink!

I counted 55 small and green tomatoes hanging on it. I gave it a prime spot by the door and it&#8217;s really showing off.

If you accidentally snap a tomato seedling in half (or if you just want to clone a rare variety from a sucker), never throw it away! Simply strip off the bottom set of leaves, stick the broken stem into a glass of plain water, and put it on a sunny windowsill. In 4 to 7 days, the stem will push out thick white roots. Once the roots are a couple of inches long, you can plant it directly into the garden.
