Unripe fruits are dark green, and when ripe they turn a gorgeous black-raspberry color. They are oblate (flattened), weighing 8.8-12.3 oz (250-350 g), juicy, sweet, and very tasty. Suitable for growing in both open ground and greenhouses.<\/p>\n<p>The seeds are from the Institute of Irrigated Agriculture (Kherson, Ukraine). I bought them in 2015 and planted them that same year.<\/p>\n<p>Harvested the first fruits on July 26th. It is a very high-yielding variety. It grew outdoors in open ground, and I really loved it for the beauty of the fruits, the heavy yield, its disease resistance, and the flavor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/12452-111216080541.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/thumb_12452-111216080541.jpeg\" alt=\"Dietary Champion dark purple tomato\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/12452-111216080613.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/thumb_12452-111216080613.jpeg\" alt=\"Dark raspberry beefsteak tomato\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">P<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Pomidornaya zemlya (Mila) <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83c\udf31 Vegetable Grower (241 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>I planted one bush as a trial this year.
