The vine gets up to about 6 to 6.5 feet (1.8-2 m) tall, but it&#8217;s really well-behaved. Regular leaf, with slightly drooping foliage.<\/p>\n<p>The fruits are oblate, pale yellow with pink rays radiating from the blossom end. They have this superb honey-like flavor. Juicy, sweet, basically tastes like a real exotic fruit, weighing anywhere from 7 to 16 oz (200-450 g). The flesh is buttery and tender, and there are hardly any seeds.<\/p>\n<p>This tomato is highly valued for its heavy yields and top-tier taste. Minusinsk Mango makes incredibly tasty juices, purees, and paste. The skin is a bit too thin for whole canning or pickling, but it is absolutely stellar for making salads.<\/p>\n<p>The last pics show how this variety did for me in my poly greenhouse. Delicious, heavy yielding, and just gorgeous (especially when you slice into it). It kept setting fruit right up until the fall. I mostly used them for salads. My original seeds came from Estonia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/242243930_4451361334909854_6338853892842994728_n.thumb.jpg.47357dd9fcee48a9d5497960383ee952.jpg.06e30b0ec42e9b4fd52a5d461531c541.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/242243930_4451361334909854_6338853892842994728_n.thumb.jpg.47357dd9fcee48a9d5497960383ee952.jpg.06e30b0ec42e9b4fd52a5d461531c541.jpg\" alt=\"Minusinsk Mango ripe on the vine\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/244460769_4508692899176697_7381042790841033454_n.thumb.jpg.82ed6a075a9d3db49bace5da4c70c1a0.jpg.6b8e0f96db11fe23e2bdcc31232da9d0.jpg.e2326d494436c407e46c18b7a12ed794.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/244460769_4508692899176697_7381042790841033454_n.thumb.jpg.82ed6a075a9d3db49bace5da4c70c1a0.jpg.6b8e0f96db11fe23e2bdcc31232da9d0.jpg.e2326d494436c407e46c18b7a12ed794.jpg\" alt=\"Minusinsk Mango fruits clustered\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/242188146_4451361484909839_5934360357926942687_n.thumb.jpg.0b92fb5d4f62273003ccbb749a35920f.jpg.451ab577dacf55fc24ab717eff38d786.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/242188146_4451361484909839_5934360357926942687_n.thumb.jpg.0b92fb5d4f62273003ccbb749a35920f.jpg.451ab577dacf55fc24ab717eff38d786.jpg\" alt=\"Minusinsk Mango fruit showing pink blush\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/a9fd8bc4-db05-4281-863b-93a585b476dc.jpg.256aea121ea918a74b1215b9ba1c8534.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/a9fd8bc4-db05-4281-863b-93a585b476dc.thumb.jpg.098086f17a08660de08a1bb4175a906b.jpg\" alt=\"Minusinsk Mango beautiful shape by Julia 1\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/97054e1f-9663-45a1-9268-92cfb771e39d.jpg.9cbe17f72951221e331f9db541de00e0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/97054e1f-9663-45a1-9268-92cfb771e39d.thumb.jpg.1a55ced3ec1d0513bd730a24bf579b22.jpg\" alt=\"Minusinsk Mango beautiful shape by Julia 2\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/928b8409-cd34-48d8-909c-bf6793057d3a.jpg.ccdec7242a53de7ac90d330f794fa648.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/928b8409-cd34-48d8-909c-bf6793057d3a.thumb.jpg.f72a7d40fadd6f00391b1b2d4ae87b36.jpg\" alt=\"Minusinsk Mango sliced by Julia\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">I<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Irina Volga (Irina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (902 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Volgograd, Russia (USDA Zone 6)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>This turned out to be one of my heaviest yielders this season.
