\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Korneevsky Pink (Korneevskiy Rozovyi) is a vigorous, indeterminate<\/strong> heirloom producing heavy yields of large, dark pink, oblate (flat-round) beefsteaks weighing up to 14 oz (400 g). Highly praised for its sugary, meaty, and tender flesh, it is a fantastic mid-season fresh-eating slicer. Its genetics are so respected that Russian agricultural institutes have recently used it as a base to breed newer commercial varieties. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

The description says: vine up to 5 feet (1.5 m), fruits are dark pink, oblate, up to 14 oz (400 g), meaty and sugary flesh, very delicious, early and productive variety. Seeds from V. Monakhova.<\/p>\n

It really is a very productive variety, with a delicious real tomato flavor, sweet, and not bland at all. Except for me it wasn’t early, I’d definitely classify it as a mid-season variety, and the vine grew to almost 6.5 feet (2 m). Definitely putting this on next year’s grow list.<\/p>\n

VNIISSOK probably used this as a base very recently to breed the “Korneevsky” variety, and it’s already in the State Register. They improved it using analytical selection methods, which included breeding out the fasciation, which you can actually see in the photo above in this thread.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
