Cultivated and popularized by Russian seed collector Alexey Kulik, who lists its origin as the USA. The name is likely a transliteration of &#8220;Stan Ley&#8221; (or Stan Lee).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate, but on the shorter side. Outdoors in open ground, it reaches about 1.3m to 1.5m (4.2 to 5 ft). In a greenhouse, it can reach up to 1.8m (6 ft). It is a vigorous plant that responds well to being pruned to 2 or 3 stems. <em>Note:<\/em> The main stem often naturally forks\/splits on its own.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Large, oblate (flat-round) beefsteaks with slight ribbing. They are stunning bicolors: yellow-orange with dense golden and red marbling inside and out. Average weight is 250\u2013300g (9\u201310.5 oz), though the breeder claims it can reach up to 800g (1.7 lbs).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Texture:<\/strong> Exceptional. Consistently rated by growers as one of the sweetest, most perfectly balanced bicolors they have ever grown. It has a distinct, delicate fruity flavor and remains sweet regardless of the weather.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Pro Tips:<\/strong> Like many yellow bicolors, it can be slightly difficult to tell exactly when it is fully ripe. Look for a softening of the flesh and the strong emergence of the red\/pink blush on the blossom end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">E<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">ElenaN (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (28,513 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Kostroma, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>A mid-season indeterminate variety. It grew outdoors in open ground, reaching up to 1.3 meters (4.2 ft) tall. The fruits weighed around 250-300 grams (9-10.5 oz), although the seed provider stated they could reach 500-800g. However, my bush grew in a very unfortunate spot, practically in the darkest corner of the garden, and sharing a planting hole with another variety, so it didn&#8217;t get to show its full potential. Nevertheless, the uncomfortable conditions did not affect its taste at all \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n<p>Out of the roughly 20 bicolors I grew this year, this variety was the absolute tastiest, most balanced, and sweetest. It didn&#8217;t lose its flavor at any point during the summer \ud83d\ude0b\ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n<p>The fruits are oblate (flat-round), slightly ribbed, and meaty.

It was in a bad spot, yet it performed very well. I absolutely loved the taste. The fruity flavor was very noticeable. In terms of taste, it is in 3rd place for me behind <em>Harvard Square<\/em> and <em>Wolf Zossi<\/em>. Bush height was about 1.5 meters (5 ft), yield was 2.2 kg (4.8 lbs) per bush, average fruit weight up to 200g (7 oz). At first, it was hard to tell when the fruit was completely ripe, but then I got the hang of it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2019_12\/1925292810_IMG_20190816_1020571.jpg.d105448df7fb5ba7862c5c2cdf019bf0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2019_12\/141356432_IMG_20190816_1020571.thumb.jpg.b83eda2e7faf36b2e0fc1b9d2b025d1d.jpg\" alt=\"Sliced Stan Ley bicolor tomato showing thick yellow and red flesh\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">V<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Vladimir Baranov (Vladimir) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Grower (312 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Kaluga, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Last year (2019), these tomatoes gave me a few different types of fruits: some had thin walls and lots of seeds, and were irregularly shaped. While the perfectly shaped fruits were much meatier. Oddly enough, the taste of these fruits differed. The irregularly shaped fruits had a more delicate, fruity taste, and more delicate colors when sliced open. This year I am trying the irregularly shaped ones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">V<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Vladimir Baranov (Vladimir) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Grower (312 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Kaluga, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>And here is the beauty that ripened for me just recently.
