\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Mermaid<\/strong>\u00a0is an elite indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season bicolor beefsteak celebrated for breaking the curse of low-yielding bicolors. The tall vines produce massive, meaty fruit tipping the scales up to 2.2 lbs (1 kg)<\/strong>. While the exterior ripens to a soft, glowing pink with faint golden undertones, slicing it open reveals a breathtaking, marbled yellow-and-crimson interior packed with intense, tropical, candy-sweet fruitiness.

My seeds came from Angelina.<\/p>\n

Here is the variety description:<\/p>\n

Stands out for its much larger fruit, tipping the scales up to 2.2 lbs (1 kg). Surface striping is nearly absent, ripening to an understated glowing pink on the outside, but slices open into a breathtakingly gorgeous, exceptionally delicious bicolor. Mid-season, tall indeterminate vine. Wonderfully sweet with a bold, memorable aroma and flavor. One of the prettiest, tastiest, and most productive varieties around!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can honestly only talk about this variety in superlatives! A heavy-yielding stunner, a true fruit-like tomato. An absolute joy in the garden!<\/p>\n

Echoing all the high praise for this tomato!<\/p>\n

Huge shoutout to @Angelina, @ElenaO, and @Mila for the seeds and stellar recommendations, thank you! \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n

Under my conditions, both the taste and yield for a bicolor are top tier \ud83d\udc4d I have been searching for a long time for a variety where authentic bicolor flavor and heavy cropping actually come in a single package.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
