\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Dalmatiner is a traditional Croatian heirloom that produces tall, vigorous indeterminate vines and large, red beefsteaks that are ribbed at the shoulders. Growers rave about its rich, perfectly balanced, old-school tomato flavor and meaty texture, noting that while it has massive potential, the flavor needs decent summer heat to fully dial in.

My seeds came from our very own Svetlana (lana_s_Kavkaza).<\/p>\n

The description said: Traditional Croatian heirloom, fruits are meaty, juicy, ribbed at the stem. Tall, up to 6.5 ft (2 m) in the greenhouse, sturdy plant, heavy foliage cover, red round fruits. Classic tomato flavor. Heavy yielder.<\/p>\n

My results matched the description perfectly. The vine is an absolute powerhouse, fruits are massive, though my yield ended up being just average. But I totally forgive it because the taste is out of this world. Incredibly delicious tomato, seriously! The flavor is rich and perfectly balanced. This variety definitely has huge potential. I’ll absolutely be growing it again. It’s a shame that early in the season all my tomatoes tasted totally bland and washed out (thanks to a cold, rainy summer) and I ended up throwing most of them into the sauce pot. This one took a while to dial in its flavor, too. Because of that, I didn’t really get around to taking proper pictures of all the fruits. Anyway, here are the ones I managed to snap…<\/p>\n
