The fruits are oblate green-yellow beefsteaks, and when they get dead ripe, the skin takes on a bronze blush. Fruit weight is around 7-8.8 oz (200-250 g). The flesh is a gorgeous yellow-emerald color, with a really nice sweet-tart flavor profile. They don&#8217;t keep long once picked, they turn mushy pretty fast. Fuss-free variety, good yield, grew it in the greenhouse.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/211\/111-110318050936.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/211\/111-110318050936.jpeg\" alt=\"Delano tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (1)\" width=\"515\" height=\"405\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/211\/111-110318051000.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/211\/111-110318051000.jpeg\" alt=\"Delano tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (2)\" width=\"603\" height=\"452\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/211\/111-110318050948.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/211\/111-110318050948.jpeg\" alt=\"Delano tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (3)\" width=\"611\" height=\"458\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Delano (left), Moya<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/211\/111-110318051044.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/211\/111-110318051044.jpeg\" alt=\"Delano and Moya tomatoes, photo posted by ElenaN (4)\" width=\"656\" height=\"446\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"full-summary\" class=\"tldr-box\" style=\"background: #f4f9f4; padding: 20px; border-left: 5px solid #4CAF50; margin-top: 30px; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Full Summary: Appearance, Taste, and Storage<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant:<\/strong> A mid-season indeterminate vine.
