According to the description, it\u2019s supposed to be a large pale yellow tomato that develops a beautiful bright pink blush on the shoulders and a pink starburst inside during hot weather. Well, during our extreme heat this summer, my Kentucky Cabin fruits ended up coloring completely into a gorgeous pink-red!<\/p>\n<p>The vine grew to about 6.5 ft (2 m), and I pruned it to two stems. Fruits are oblate, slightly ribbed around the stem, and weigh between 12\u201318 oz (350\u2013500 g). They are incredibly meaty, sweet, and juicy with a distinctly fruity aroma and taste. Super delicious!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an absolutely magnificent variety. Great yields and top-tier fruit quality. I will definitely be growing it again, though I really want to see it express its normal coloring next time. At first, I was worried that the weird coloring meant I ended up with an off-type or crossed seed. But my seed source reassured me that in incredibly hot summers, it&#8217;s totally normal for certain varieties to completely change their color expression.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/235\/14878-150818134025.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/235\/14878-150818134025.jpeg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/236\/14878-220818031351.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/236\/14878-220818031351.jpeg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/236\/14878-170818061805.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/236\/14878-170818061805.jpeg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"post-irina\" class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">I<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Irina Volga (Irina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Member (902 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Volgograd, USDA Zone 6<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_11\/Polish_20210902_200222319.jpg.5080988d1bbc083c4d99096698f0357a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_11\/Polish_20210902_200222319.thumb.jpg.455f101bf3ba8cb5af2839f682670bdd.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== FULL SUMMARY ===== --><\/p>\n<div id=\"full-summary\" class=\"tldr-box\" style=\"background: #f4f9f4; padding: 20px; border-left: 5px solid #4CAF50; margin-top: 30px; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Full Summary: Plant, Yield, Taste and Appearance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant:<\/strong> A vigorous, tall, regular-leaf indeterminate vine that routinely reaches 6.5 ft (2 m).

While cold weather usually triggers anthocyanin (purple\/black) expression, extreme heat and intense UV can sometimes cause the lycopene and red pigments in yellow\/red bicolors to completely take over, masking the yellow base entirely. If your bicolors turn completely red during a massive heatwave, it\u2019s not always crossed seeds (\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0441\u043e\u0440\u0442)\u2014sometimes it\u2019s just the weather!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83c\udf45 Quick take: Kentucky Cabin is a mid-season, heavy-yielding indeterminate regular-leaf variety.
