The vine is slender and wispy. The fruits are ribbed beefsteaks of excellent quality, the ribbing is so pronounced they honestly look like sculptures. Flavor is just your standard tomato taste. Yields were average for me, but to be fair, it was growing in partial shade and pretty crowded conditions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/101\/111-161215110610.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/101\/thumb_111-161215110610.jpeg\" alt=\"El Greco tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (1)\" width=\"160\" height=\"138\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/101\/111-161215110512.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/101\/thumb_111-161215110512.jpeg\" alt=\"El Greco tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (2)\" width=\"160\" height=\"85\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/101\/111-161215110655.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/101\/thumb_111-161215110655.jpeg\" alt=\"El Greco tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (3)\" width=\"160\" height=\"129\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/101\/111-161215110533.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/101\/thumb_111-161215110533.jpeg\" alt=\"El Greco tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (4)\" width=\"160\" height=\"116\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/101\/111-161215110714.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/101\/thumb_111-161215110714.jpeg\" alt=\"El Greco tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (5)\" width=\"160\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- 5.
