Honestly, I couldn&#8217;t even tell if it was an indet or a determinate because it topped out at about 3 ft (1 m) out in the dirt. Fruits are oblate, super uniform, with a really gorgeous color and shape. Firm flesh, and the flavor is top-notch. The seed description claims they can hit 21 oz (600 g), but mine maxed out at 10.5 oz (300 g). Yields were just a bit above average for me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/42\/111-221114074346.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/42\/111-221114074346.jpeg\" alt=\"Kavkazets pink tomatoes on scale, photo by ElenaN (1)\" width=\"1000\" height=\"871\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/42\/111-221114074328.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/42\/111-221114074328.jpeg\" alt=\"Kavkazets tomato sliced, photo by ElenaN (2)\" width=\"470\" height=\"376\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/42\/111-221114074400.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/42\/111-221114074400.jpeg\" alt=\"Kavkazets tomato flesh, photo by ElenaN (3)\" width=\"488\" height=\"396\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/42\/111-221114074312.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/42\/111-221114074312.jpeg\" alt=\"Kavkazets tomato halves, photo by ElenaN (4)\" width=\"541\" height=\"344\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">P<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">PanIrina <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,208 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Nizhny Novgorod Region, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>My Kavkazets seed stock came from V. Redko. I ran it in the greenhouse and the vine reached about 5.5 ft (1.7 m). Mid-season, pumps out a solid yield. The color is a really nice raspberry pink, and the weights hovered around 7-10.5 oz (200-300 g). Seriously delicious, all meat, with a bold, old-school tomato flavor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/79\/12435-310715092203.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/79\/thumb_12435-310715092203.jpeg\" alt=\"Kavkazets tomatoes on vine, photo by PanIrina (1)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/79\/12435-280715120716.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/79\/thumb_12435-280715120716.jpeg\" alt=\"Kavkazets tomato harvested, photo by PanIrina (2)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">L<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Lana_s_Kavkaza (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (19,268 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Pyatigorsk, Russia (USDA Zone 6b)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>The vine got absolutely massive for me, 8 ft (2.5 m) and then some.
