Regular leaf. Fruits are medium-sized pink beefsteaks, mostly round or slightly oval. Sometimes they get a bit elongated with a little pointed tip.<\/p>\n<p>These tomatoes are top quality &#8211; totally blemish-free and zero cracking. Very meaty and dense. The flavor is really pleasant and shifted a bit over the summer, starting out excellent with a nice sweet-to-tart balance, and settling into just a solid, tasty tomato later on.<\/p>\n<p>One quirky thing about this variety: when they&#8217;re slightly underripe, the fruits have these yellow and greenish speckles that completely disappear once fully ripe.<\/p>\n<p>Really liked this one. Super low maintenance, and it was one of the very last plants I pulled from the greenhouse at the end of the season. Great all-purpose tomato. The early ones are perfect for salads, and the smaller ones from the upper trusses are great for canning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/111-201216104444.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/111-201216104444.jpeg\" alt=\"Koroleva tomato sliced, photo posted by ElenaN (1)\" width=\"525\" height=\"422\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/111-201216104503.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/thumb_111-201216104503.jpeg\" alt=\"Koroleva tomato on the vine, photo posted by ElenaN (2)\" width=\"126\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/111-201216104424.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/thumb_111-201216104424.jpeg\" alt=\"Koroleva tomato harvest, photo posted by ElenaN (3)\" width=\"160\" height=\"122\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/111-201216104554.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/thumb_111-201216104554.jpeg\" alt=\"Koroleva tomato close up, photo posted by ElenaN (4)\" width=\"160\" height=\"146\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/111-201216104531.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/thumb_111-201216104531.jpeg\" alt=\"Koroleva tomato plant, photo posted by ElenaN (5)\" width=\"160\" height=\"128\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/111-201216104405.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/thumb_111-201216104405.jpeg\" alt=\"Koroleva tomato, photo posted by ElenaN (6)\" width=\"104\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== 4.
