Despite the rather exotic name, it left only positive impressions. This variety was a success by practically every metric. Pretty early, sets trusses despite crazy weather. I practically didn&#8217;t see any blossom drop on my end. Yield was one of the best of the season, even though the fruits aren&#8217;t massive (but they aren&#8217;t tiny either). Around 3.5-7 oz (100-200 g).<\/p>\n<p>Strong, vigorous vine, got to about 6.5 ft (2 m) in the greenhouse. Flavor-wise, it might lose out to a fresh slicing beefsteak. But it has undeniable advantages when it comes to transport and storage (it&#8217;s a great keeper at room temp, lasts a month or more). Great for sun-drying. I can honestly call this variety the absolute find of the season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_11\/IMG_20200809_115908.jpg.e741379a72805d8310ecbd1731447785.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_11\/IMG_20200809_115908.thumb.jpg.e6d05d25cc6205f0d4e17745cbd4fa10.jpg\" alt=\"Granny's Throwing tomato cluster on the vine, photo posted by Valeriy1968 (1)\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_11\/IMG_20200908_205332_compress12.jpg.986a7b2862347e3c334034ba0f7319b1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_11\/IMG_20200908_205332_compress12.thumb.jpg.cb63ac0fec18bf2eeedc3d24ad175f0f.jpg\" alt=\"Harvested Granny's Throwing tomatoes, photo posted by Valeriy1968 (2)\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- 5.
