Beautiful color &#8211; pinkish-crimson, hearts, flavor is really good and juicy. Tons of blossoms per cluster, if you don&#8217;t thin them out you&#8217;ll get a ton of tomatoes but they&#8217;ll be small. If you prune some blossoms off, the fruits get bigger. The plant is &#8220;dainty,&#8221; stems aren&#8217;t thick, leaves aren&#8217;t huge &#8211; meaning foliage is pretty sparse \ud83d\ude00, so it doesn&#8217;t shade out its neighbors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/4\/166-101213235236.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin-top: 10px; border-radius: 4px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/4\/thumb_166-101213235236.jpeg\" alt=\"Mazarini tomato thumbnail\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/4\/166-101213235300.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin-top: 10px; border-radius: 4px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/4\/thumb_166-101213235300.jpeg\" alt=\"Mazarini tomato thumbnail\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 15px; background-color: #fff;\">\n<div class=\"author-header\" style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\" style=\"width: 50px; height: 50px; border-radius: 50%; background-color: #ff9800; color: white; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 24px; margin-right: 15px;\">G<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\" style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.1em;\">Galina Vasilievna (Galina) <span class=\"author-stats\" style=\"font-size: 0.8em; color: #666; font-weight: normal;\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (2,139 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\" style=\"line-height: 1.6;\">\n<p>Planted one vine.

The yield is monstrous \ud83d\ude32 \ud83d\ude32 \ud83d\ude32 Sizes are huge (21 oz \/ 600g is standard, the biggest was 33.5 oz \/ 950g, but we didn&#8217;t get a pic because my mother-in-law swiped it \ud83d\ude06). Beautiful fruit. Pure meat inside. Very few seeds. But!.. We literally couldn&#8217;t eat the fruit from the first cluster &#8211; tasted just like grass. Then the flavor started improving. Eventually it got really good. Even got slightly sweet and added a bit of aroma.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking that right when the first cluster was plumping up, we got that monstrous June cold snap that turned into frost for a lot of folks. That probably played a role. Overall, in its traits it&#8217;s very similar to Eagle&#8217;s Heart. Just a slightly higher yield, though they&#8217;re comparable.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m keeping it in the rotation.

Planted it several seasons in a row, noted the low yield, but I pick my fruit fully ripe off the vine, I don&#8217;t let them ripen on the counter, and these tomatoes are huge, so while they take their time ripening, the others on the vine stall out. My biggest were 24-28 oz (700-800g), mostly 10-21 oz (300-600g). The plant is dainty, the leaves are thin, it catches late blight among the first. But I&#8217;ll still keep planting it because the fruit don&#8217;t crack, they are meaty, no white core, and no hard green shoulders near the stem. Even if it&#8217;s only a few fruits per plant, they are just so delicious.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/39\/13551-021114073626.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin-top: 10px; border-radius: 4px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/39\/thumb_13551-021114073626.jpeg\" alt=\"Mazarini tomato thumbnail\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 15px; background-color: #fff;\">\n<div class=\"author-header\" style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\" style=\"width: 50px; height: 50px; border-radius: 50%; background-color: #ff9800; color: white; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 24px; margin-right: 15px;\">K<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\" style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.1em;\">kiminok (Irina) <span class=\"author-stats\" style=\"font-size: 0.8em; color: #666; font-weight: normal;\">\ud83c\udf45 Member (228 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\" style=\"line-height: 1.6;\">\n<p>Really loved this variety!
