\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Love and Doves F1<\/strong> (Lyubov da Golubi F1) is a vigorous indeterminate hybrid<\/strong> from Premium Seeds that produces pink plum tomatoes. While it boasts fantastic disease resistance and heavy fruit set outdoors, growers in this thread are largely disappointed by its highly inconsistent genetics and bland, tough, “supermarket-style” flavor.

Love and Doves F1 from Premium Seeds.<\/p>\n

Supposed to taste like a classic pink variety with dense, meaty flesh and no tough skin, getting juicy and melt-in-your-mouth when overripe. I ran a few vines and honestly, the traits were all over the place. Some had a grainy texture and were way more tart than sweet, bordering on totally bland. Others were on the watery side with barely any hint of acid or sugar. Out in the dirt, the fruit set was fantastic though, the plums didn’t shrink in size further up the plant, and the vines are pushing past 6.5 ft (2 m) and still throwing blossoms.<\/p>\n

Ran this one last summer in the poly greenhouse. Set fruit fine, just like any regular hybrid, but definitely didn’t blow me away with any crazy super-yields. Might be because it was in the hoophouse and got way too hot in there at times. Flavor couldn’t hold a candle to open-pollinated heirlooms. Not going on my grow list again \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Taste-tested some gnarly, blocky plums off one of these hybrid vines last night, and man, they were bone dry and completely tasteless. I’ve got another off-type vine of this throwing red, meaty fruits, and it had that exact same cardboard winter-greenhouse taste to it.<\/p>\n

Here’s another vine on November 2. Absolutely zero hint of sweetness or meatiness. Just a tough, tart, kinda starchy plum tomato ripening up from a brownish color.<\/p>\n
