Such early ripening is especially surprising for a bicolor heart. Varieties of this type are usually quite late and finicky.<\/p>\n<p>Pomaranch is an exception. In addition to being early, this variety is highly productive, and its fruiting period is extended, which allows you to harvest the crop gradually over time.<\/p>\n<p>The taste qualities are also top-notch\u2014juicy, sweet flesh that is typical for such varieties.<\/p>\n<p>The bush is of medium dimensions, reaching 1.8 m (6 ft) in the greenhouse.<\/p>\n<p>I made a conclusion for myself that, so far, this variety is one of the best representatives of this tomato type out of all the ones I&#8217;ve had the chance to grow.
