The name translates to &#8220;Golden Domes&#8221;, referencing the shape of Russian Orthodox church roofs.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate, but often acts semi-determinate depending on the climate. Typically reaches about 4 to 5 feet (1.2-1.5 m) tall. It sets fruit early but can sometimes stop growing after pushing out 3-4 heavy trusses.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Large, beautiful yellow-orange oxhearts. Lower trusses will sometimes throw round, non-pointed fruits. Meaty, with weights commonly ranging from 9 oz to 20 oz (250-570 g). <strong>Warning:<\/strong> They have a very short shelf life once ripe.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Sweet, meaty, and very low in acidity. Some growers report fruity, citrusy notes. They can get a bit bland or mealy if overwatered or left on the counter too long.<\/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-plus (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,450 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Golden Domes was in the catalog on the old forum. I liked the variety. Seeds are from SibSad, they germinated well. Grew it outdoors in the dirt with almost no pruning. The yield was average. The heaviest tomato was 20 oz (570 g). No cracking at all. Good tomato flavor with a little sweetness. The bush was about 3.3 feet (1 m) tall, maybe a bit taller. I picked them half-ripe and they sat indoors for 20 days until fully ripe. A solid 4 out of 5 rating. Keeping it in my collection.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58629_446b0443d6d58078bcc7138e59eae280b373a059.jpg\" alt=\"Golden Domes yellow tomato fruit\" width=\"493\" height=\"684\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58631_83d3fbc15fdadafc7e2b3d981d9a5b74232a8b66.jpg\" alt=\"Sliced Zolotye Kupola tomato\" width=\"730\" height=\"547\" \/><\/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\">pomidorka (Olga) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Member (114 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>A real beauty, tasty, and a heavy yielder.

It grew to about 4-4.2 feet (120-130 cm) outdoors in the open ground. Heavy yielder, sets every truss without dropping blossoms, and the plant forked on its own right after the first truss. Mid-early, or honestly I\u2019d even call it early, judging by the fact that it was the very first of my large slicers to ripen. Orange-yellow fruits shaped like a slightly elongated heart. I had 5 on the first truss, and 4 on the second truss, but larger. The third and fourth trusses have 5 smaller fruits each, not sure if they&#8217;ll have time to ripen in our climate \ud83d\ude41 . Juicy, meaty, sweet with a slight tang, and it leaves a little fruity citrus aftertaste.

I bought the seedlings at a farmers market (they grew them from SibSad seeds). I liked it. A late blight epidemic meant I only got to harvest the first few trusses off these plants (about 2.2-2.8 lbs or 1-1.3 kg per bush, average fruit weight was 10.5 oz or 300 g). But even that is a good result and proves you can successfully grow this outdoors in the dirt.<\/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\">Valentina-11 (Valentina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Member (49 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Poltava, Ukraine (USDA Zone 5\/6)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Poltava, grown in open ground. Bushes were about 4 feet (120 cm) tall. Not a ton of fruit, average size was 8.8-12.3 oz (250-350 g). The photos show Golden Domes from two different seed vendors. Both turned out very tasty, moderately juicy, with a nice sweet and sour balance. Even the one that ripened light yellow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_08\/1405940814__viber_2021-08-24_11-20-02-984.jpg.60a66195cd41d48e559385e0a51bd595.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_08\/358854878__viber_2021-08-24_11-20-02-984.thumb.jpg.d20291a32448223ca5132f0690115d63.jpg\" alt=\"Light yellow Golden Domes tomato sliced on a cutting board\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_08\/558197648__viber_2021-08-24_11-24-24-488.jpg.98516c0b80eb7e9a7a18c09f0586845f.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_08\/1719640881__viber_2021-08-24_11-24-24-488.thumb.jpg.504ce131d197d99b919eec97658a243b.jpg\" alt=\"Darker yellow oxheart tomato sliced open\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_08\/1942893561__viber_2021-08-24_11-26-40-636.jpg.c02d9a3e19adfd78e28fbe278c14efcd.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_08\/1059027370__viber_2021-08-24_11-26-40-636.thumb.jpg.61f746f53f520aef369463e019178f7c.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful yellow-orange Golden Domes tomato being weighed\" width=\"175\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"editor-note\" style=\"background: #eef7ff; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #2196F3; margin-top: 15px; font-size: 1.2em;\"><strong>\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf3e Editor&#8217;s Note: Russian Seed Sources<\/strong><br \/>\nIn this thread, you&#8217;ll see mentions of &#8220;SibSad&#8221;, &#8220;Angelina&#8221;, and &#8220;Tomatanya&#8221;.<br \/>\n<strong>SibSad (Siberian Garden)<\/strong> is a massive commercial seed company in Russia, famous worldwide for breeding incredibly cold-tolerant, early-producing giant heirloom tomatoes.<br \/>\n<strong>Angelina &amp; Tomatanya<\/strong> are private heirloom seed collectors and vendors on the Russian tomato forums.
