A mid-early variety \u2014 the time from full emergence of seedlings to the ripening of the first fruits is 115 days. A distinctive feature of the variety is its unpretentiousness to weather conditions and increased resistance to many fungal diseases.<\/p>\n<p>The plant is up to 80 cm (32 inches) tall, sturdy, and heavily loaded with heart-shaped fruits weighing 400-600 g (14-21 oz). The tomatoes are aromatic, very tasty, the flesh is granular and sugary. Ripe fruits should be harvested every 1-2 days. The yield is about 10 kg per square meter (approx. 2 lbs per sq. ft).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I liked this variety very much. It fully matches the description, except that the yield for me was a bit lower. The fruits have an excellent taste.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/P1590826.JPG.84edacd81b65b0d98674374006d1096d.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/P1590826.thumb.JPG.db27edc95127378c0a5f78de08d7a257.JPG\" alt=\"Sakharnaya Golova (Sugar Head) huge pink oxheart tomato on a scale\" width=\"175\" height=\"300\" \/><\/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\">Vitana <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2022_12\/large.447713780_DSCN8843.JPG.80a001d2b85b1fda9dc1b8ae54c9567a.JPG\" alt=\"Plate full of huge Sakharnaya Golova (Sugar Head) pink oxheart tomatoes\" width=\"850\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Summary of Sakharnaya Golova (Sugar Head) \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A popular commercial variety from the famous Russian seed company &#8220;Siberian Garden&#8221; (SibSad).
