The name translates to &#8220;Golden Bull&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate (tall). Regular leaf, but it possesses the classic &#8220;wispy&#8221; oxheart foliage. The leaves are typically pale green and droopy, making the plant look frail even when perfectly healthy.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Large, meaty, lemon-yellow to orange oxhearts. Most fruits develop a beautiful pink or red starburst in the core and a pink blush on the blossom end when fully ripe. Weights usually range from 12.3 oz (350 g) up to a massive 21 oz (600 g).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Highly rated dessert tomato. Very sweet, low acidity, with a buttery and grainy texture. Very few seeds. Excellent for fresh eating and salads.<\/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>This is a variety I highly recommend to everyone \ud83d\udc4d \ud83d\ude0b. Yellow-orange, large, incredibly delicious fruits with a real dessert-like flavor and very few seeds. The flesh is soft but not watery, very meaty, and they practically don&#8217;t lose any flavor if you have to ripen them off the vine indoors. The shelf life is easily around 10 days. I will definitely be planting this one every single year. It&#8217;s an indeterminate bush, I grew it to two stems in the greenhouse. Seeds were from Biotekhnika.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58619_8f7c76c4644f3e24d825f184e1eda05bdced7931.jpg\" alt=\"Large Golden Bull yellow tomato\" width=\"593\" height=\"684\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58621_63b7b8ad9aa4185017eb18ab73fc4667366df3d3.jpg\" alt=\"Sliced Zolotoy Byk showing meaty interior\" width=\"730\" height=\"547\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">t<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">tomatinka (Vera) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (14,911 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Tyumen Region (USDA Zone 3)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>I really liked it too.

I planted two bushes total (germination was 2 out of 2). The second bush threw a double truss right off the bat. The photo is from a week ago, the next trusses are already waist-high and above.<\/p>\n<p>Yield-wise, this Bull is severely outperforming another oxheart I&#8217;m growing right now, Honey Spas. Even though the Bull&#8217;s bushes are much weaker-looking, and as a seedling, it looked downright ugly. I&#8217;m growing them to 3 or 3.5 stems. The tomatoes are just starting to take on some warm color, so I&#8217;ll report back on the taste later.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/15982-130716172843.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/thumb_15982-130716172843.jpeg\" alt=\"Green Golden Bull tomatoes on the vine\" width=\"160\" height=\"117\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/15982-130716173320.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/thumb_15982-130716173320.jpeg\" alt=\"Double truss of green oxheart tomatoes\" width=\"160\" height=\"147\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/15982-130716174909.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/thumb_15982-130716174909.jpeg\" alt=\"Wispy foliage of Golden Bull tomato plant\" width=\"112\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">T<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">TatianaSh (Tatiana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (5,471 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Ramensky District, Moscow Region (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>This seemed like the absolute best tasting tomato out of everything I tried this summer.

This is a very common genetic trait in heart-shaped heirloom tomatoes known as <strong>&#8220;wispy foliage&#8221;<\/strong>. New growers often panic, thinking their plant is dying or suffering from a severe nitrogen deficiency (like Galka did), but this is perfectly normal!
