The bush itself is very graceful.<\/p>\n<p>The fruits are yellow, meaty, and don&#8217;t crack on the vine. The flavor is just like a &#8220;big&#8221; tomato (I really don&#8217;t know how else to describe it). It lacked a bit of sweetness for my personal taste, but it is definitely not a sour bomb by any means.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments01\/60718_d3192aff379170fd982b1f633a9f84bd8b6f9ca3.jpg\" alt=\"Minigold yellow cherry tomato on vine\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Sweet (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">Pro | 8,792 posts<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Belgorod region (USDA Zone 5)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>In the greenhouse, I had to tie up every single stem:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments01\/60720_6307a0191a86b6b5ddafc0932f15e9c2856e718b.jpg\" alt=\"Minigold plant tied up in greenhouse\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Sweet (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">Pro | 8,792 posts<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Belgorod region (USDA Zone 5)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Minigold and Barbaris F1.
