At first, they are whitish, and then yes, they turn pearl-pink.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a tree-type (rugose) dwarf. In my polycarbonate greenhouse, it shot up to 5.5 feet (170 cm).

Absolutely nothing grows for me outdoors in open ground, it&#8217;s just a waste of space. I mean, sure, I might pull a couple of tomatoes off them, but why even bother with the hassle.<\/p>\n<p>The whole reason I kept torturing Tsar&#8217;s Gift year after year is because I loved that it was a stout little tree-type plant. The first year it gave me 3 beautifully large fruits, so I thought, &#8220;This one has potential, I just need to figure out what it wants, because the fruits are too pretty to give up on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The next year it gave me 6 fruits. Well, I finally built a polycarbonate greenhouse for it, and it really showed what it could do! Except I don&#8217;t prune my tree-type plants, so it set fruit all over the side shoots. It does have one flaw &#8211; the flower blossoms drop off very easily, but since the flower clusters are so massive and complex, enough buds always stay on to give a good harvest.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I didn&#8217;t expect a literal cypress tree to grow inside the greenhouse. I planted them closely together as usual, and it just expanded in every direction &#8211; wide and tall. I didn&#8217;t realize until it was too late that I should have been pruning off the lower leaves much earlier, so it turned into an absolute jungle. But hey, there were tomatoes hiding inside that jungle&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">G<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Galya-64 (Galina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (4,414 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd N\/A<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>I got this variety from two different sources: the first was from V.F.
