Potato leaf. Fruits are large pink beefsteaks, few seeds, small seed cavities, meaty but juicy at the same time. The flavor shifted over the course of the summer from a good basic tomato taste to very good, with a nice sweetness. Very good yield, low-maintenance variety, fruits ripen uniformly on the cluster.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/154\/111-221116124522.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/154\/111-221116124522.jpeg\" alt=\"Daniels tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (1)\" width=\"495\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/154\/111-221116124742.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/154\/thumb_111-221116124742.jpeg\" alt=\"Daniels tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (2)\" width=\"160\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/135\/111-300716072851.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/135\/thumb_111-300716072851.jpeg\" alt=\"Daniels tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (3)\" width=\"122\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/154\/111-221116124504.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/154\/thumb_111-221116124504.jpeg\" alt=\"Daniels tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (4)\" width=\"160\" height=\"105\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">L<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Lena 18 (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Veggie Expert (276 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Seeds from Redko.
