\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Korshun Zheltyi (Yellow Kite) is an indeterminate<\/strong> yellow\/pink bicolor beefsteak. Unusually for an indet, it grows as a very stocky, stout vine. While one grower found it incredibly resilient in a crappy shaded spot with fluctuating temps, another struggled with blossom drop. When it does produce, it offers a well-balanced, excellent flavor with a beautiful pink blush inside the flesh. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Indet, mid-to-late season. The vine is powerful, but squat and stocky, with really wide foliage. I grew it in an awful, shady corner where a bunch of my other varieties didn’t produce squat, but this one surprised me with a solid yield.
\nThe fruits are large, oblate beefsteaks, yellow with a nice pink blush in the center. The flavor is really good. It’s totally low-maintenance – one of the very few that didn’t drop its clusters during our extreme heat waves and cold snaps. Seeds were from Vera Monakhova.<\/p>\n

The flavor is really good for a yellow tomato, very well-balanced. But mine ended up being a super light producer (it dropped blossoms like crazy), so I just yanked the plant in early August.
\nI think it might do a lot better grown outdoors in the dirt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
