The fruits weigh 4\u20135.5 oz (120\u2013150 g) and are round and yellow.I sowed the seeds for this variety in April, but they (or rather, the one single seed I planted) just refused to germinate. I had a second, final seed left! It only sprouted after I put it in a germinator, I basically had to nurse this variety to life. Since that seed finally popped in early May, and Dwarf series tomatoes are usually NOT early (they lean towards mid-late), I ended up planting the dwarf vine in the greenhouse to give it time.<\/p>\n<p>Not a single fruit fully ripened on the plant before the season ended; only the first truss even started to blush. But even the ones that I had to ripen indoors on the counter still had a really nice sweetness to them. (I saw photos of this exact same seed stock grown by someone else, and their fully vine-ripened tomatoes had a gorgeous pink core inside. Since mine were counter-ripened, they obviously lacked the pink blush and the flesh color wasn&#8217;t as deep).<\/p>\n<p>Takeaway: It&#8217;s highly recommended to let this fruit fully ripen on the vine. For such a late planting, I consider the yield to be excellent. I pulled this plant out of the greenhouse absolute last. Not a single speck of disease or crud attached itself to the leaves all the way through the end of September.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the &#8220;Kangaroo Paw&#8221; series, the yellow one is the largest. I also grew Kangaroo Paw Brown and two plants of Kangaroo Paw Green.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/112\/111-120316053041.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/112\/thumb_111-120316053041.jpeg\" width=\"160\" height=\"119\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/111-161216115258.jpeg\" width=\"448\" height=\"426\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/111-161216115239.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/thumb_111-161216115239.jpeg\" width=\"85\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/151\/111-261016115546.jpeg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"936\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"post-lana\" class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">L<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Lana_s_Kavkaza (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Honored Member (19,271 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Pyatigorsk, USDA Zone 6<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">I really liked it. Sowed in early February, and moved it to its permanent spot out in the dirt in May. Honestly, I could have waited to sow until early March. They started ripening in July, and by September, the fruits actually got bigger. The whole plant looked like a Christmas tree covered in yellow ornaments. Very long fruiting window. My plant grew to 5 ft (1.5 m) tall.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/243\/5102-131018164634.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/243\/thumb_5102-131018164634.jpeg\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/243\/5102-131018164549.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/243\/thumb_5102-131018164549.jpeg\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/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 Storage<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant:<\/strong> A classic Dwarf Tomato Project variety featuring thick, rugose regular foliage. While it is a compact dwarf, it is technically indeterminate and will keep growing throughout a long season, sometimes reaching up to 5 ft (1.5 m) tall. It is remarkably bulletproof against late-season fungal diseases.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcc8 <strong>Yield:<\/strong> Excellent and sustained. It has a very long harvesting window, steadily producing fruit from mid-summer straight through to the first frost.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Taste:<\/strong> Sweet and pleasant. When left to fully ripen on the plant, the yellow flesh develops a beautiful pink blush in the center, unlocking its peak fruity flavor.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udce6 <strong>Storage:<\/strong> Very forgiving. If your season gets cut short by frost, green or blushing fruits can be picked and will successfully ripen indoors on the counter while retaining a surprisingly sweet flavor profile.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf0e <strong>Who Reviewed It:<\/strong> Grown and highly rated by gardeners in both Zone 4 (greenhouse) and Zone 6 (outdoors).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== CTA ===== --><\/p>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown Kangaroo Paw Yellow?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Did you get the pink core inside?
