Redko.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate (tall), reaching over 8 feet (2.5 m) in a greenhouse. Like many heart and paste varieties, it has long, droopy, &#8220;wispy&#8221; foliage that often looks wilted even when perfectly watered. It handles heat well but can burn in intense direct sunlight.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Bright orange, elongated spearhead or plum-shaped fruits. Average weight is around 5.3-10.5 oz (150-300 g). The interior is almost entirely solid meat with practically zero seeds or gel.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Sweet, rich, and often described as having melon-like dessert notes. Because it is so dense and meaty, it is considered a top-tier choice for making sun-dried tomatoes or thick sauces.<\/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\">E<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Eva77 (Tatyana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (3,809 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Seeds from V.

With Nizami, the first fruit on the truss is a large blunt heart up to 18 oz (500 g), and the rest are also heart-shaped but smaller. And it&#8217;s also practically seedless, if there are any seeds they are located right along the edges near the walls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/75\/166-160715072258.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/75\/thumb_166-160715072258.jpeg\" alt=\"Harvest of orange heart tomatoes\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/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\">Svetikk <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (29,384 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Stupino District, Moscow Region, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Happily grew this wonderful variety again.

The flavor is kind of dietary. The first one I gutted for seeds seemed a bit bland, absolutely zero acidity. But the ones ripening now come in various shapes and are very tasty &#8211; they picked up a little bit of tang.
