Excellent for fresh salads and whole-fruit canning. Mid-early. Fruit ripens 112 days after full germination. Indeterminate plant. Medium-sized, dark green foliage. Simple blossom clusters. The first cluster forms above the 8th or 9th leaf, with subsequent clusters appearing every 3 leaves or more. The fruit is pear-shaped and moderately ribbed. Unripe fruits are green with dark green shoulders, mature fruits are pink. Has 4 or more seed locules. Fruit weight is 4.7 oz (135 g), up to 10.5 oz (300 g). Good flavor quality. Marketable commercial yield is rated at about 1.06 lbs per square foot (5.2 kg\/sq m).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I was really surprised not to find this variety in our catalog yet. \ud83c\udfa9<\/p>\n<p>It turned out to be pretty late for me. But on the plus side, it kept setting fruit right under the greenhouse roof all the way until October. I snipped off the growing tip, and it just kept pumping out fruit on the suckers. A lot of the tomatoes have already been harvested in this photo. The taste is very good, real classic tomato flavor. I&#8217;d give the yield a solid 4 out of 5.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KR6U3lAvlPPnc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5135 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KR6U3lAvlPPnc-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KR6U3lAvlPPnc-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KR6U3lAvlPPnc-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KR6U3lAvlPPnc-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KR6U3lAvlPPnc-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KR6U3lAvlPPnc.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== 4.
