Initially released by seed companies like &#8220;Sortsemovosch&#8221; and &#8220;Uralskiy Dachnik&#8221;. While sometimes commercially labeled as an F1 hybrid, it has been widely circulated as a stable open-pollinated heirloom among growers.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indet. Sturdy and relatively compact for an indeterminate vine, often stopping around 5 to 6 feet tall depending on conditions. Known for being quite disease resistant.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Medium to large oblate beefsteaks, typically weighing 7 to 12 oz (200-340 g). They ripen to a yellowish-bronze blush on the outside while retaining vibrant green flesh inside. Unlike many GWR varieties, they hold up reasonably well on the vine without immediately turning to mush.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Sweet, juicy, and very meaty. It sparks a lot of debate among growers, who constantly compare it to the famous Malakhitovaya Shkatulka (Malachite Box).<\/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\">D<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Drosera (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (5,413 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Yekaterinburg (USDA Zone 3)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Irish Liqueur is an indeterminate green-when-ripe variety. The plant is sturdy and not too sprawling. The fruits are medium-sized, firm, and oblate with distinct ribbing near the stem.<\/p>\n<p>Very tasty, sweet, and the flavor impressed everyone (even those who were seeing and tasting a green tomato for the first time). I actually liked it better than the famous Malakhitovaya Shkatulka (Malachite Box). The Malachite Box tomatoes are bigger, but the shape isn&#8217;t as pretty as Irish Liqueur.

Tall, vigorous, absolutely loaded with fruit, I pruned them to two stems. I was worried I wouldn&#8217;t be able to spot them among the unripe regular tomatoes since I lost my garden tags when planting out. But they made themselves obvious pretty quickly, they get a yellowish blush and soften up.<\/p>\n<p>Loved the taste. Not the very first ones, but the ones picked right in the peak of the season. Juicy, meaty, more sweet than tart, very balanced flavor, though I didn&#8217;t get any distinct fruity notes. I&#8217;d definitely classify them as early rather than late. Picked the last underripe ones at the same time as my De Barao. They store for a little bit and will ripen off the vine, but they really lose their flavor when counter-ripened. Very disease resistant.<\/p>\n<p>Definitely growing them again next year, loved them. Absolutely super for salads.

In the Russian commercial seed market, it is an unfortunate but common practice for vendors to label stable, open-pollinated (OP) heirlooms as F1 hybrids. They do this simply to discourage home gardeners from saving their own seeds so they have to return and buy new packets every year.
