Needs plenty of room to roam and does well when pruned to 2-4 stems. Prone to blossom drop in extreme heat.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Classic bicolor beefsteaks.

Very few seeds.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Exceptional. A highly sweet, honey-like flavor that heavily leans towards the sweet pink\/red tomato profile rather than the mild yellow profile.

A variety with great potential. The yield was decent, but it dropped blossoms during the heat wave.

Pruned to 1 and 2 stems. The bush is sturdy and dense. The leaves are broad, large, dense, sticking out sideways. The stems are thick. Responds well to feeding. The width of a 1-stem bush is at least 16 inches (40 cm). The density of the bush at the bottom is about 90%, at the top &#8211; 30&#8230;40%. Tasty, but the flavor leans towards a yellow tomato, with a tang. I don&#8217;t really like yellow tomatoes, so I&#8217;ll give it a 4.8 out of 5.<\/p>\n<p>I prefer Oaxacan Jewel because the pink tomato flavor profile dominates, and it&#8217;s sweeter.

It&#8217;s a mid-to-late season variety, a slow and steady producer. I have photos from October 22, harvested 6 tomatoes, not small ones either. The bush was under a low tunnel during a nice autumn. Out of 5 bicolor varieties, this one is permanently on our grow list (it&#8217;s denser) along with Burracker&#8217;s Favorite, which is quite productive. The others we only plant occasionally.
