\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Orange Orangutan<\/strong> is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> heirloom bicolor circulating out of Germany<\/strong>. It produces heavy, trouble-free clusters of massive 10.5-21 oz (300-600 g) beefsteaks with glowing yellow-orange skin that blushes deep raspberry pink at peak ripeness. Praised by northern growers across Zones 3 to 7, it stands out for its luscious, buttery, low-seed flesh that balances dessert sweetness with refreshing acidity. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Indeterminate, mid-season salad variety, true bicolor. Gorgeous two-toned fruits ranging from medium to very large. Heavy clusters with zero blossom drop.<\/p>\n

Flavor is very well balanced, truly delicious. Stellar productivity, grew in the greenhouse. Original seeds sourced from Germany.<\/p>\n

Looking at those pictures just reminds me why so many gardeners love bicolors best of all. Elena, I usually look at the variety name first before checking the specs, and thanks to your detailed notes, there are so many gems to add to my wish list! \ud83d\udcec Big thanks! \ud83d\udc90<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Orange Orangutan is a wonderful bicolor. Indeterminate vine, topped out around 5.6 feet (1.7 m), mid-season.<\/p>\n

The skin is orange-pink, and as it reaches peak ripeness, the pink hue takes over. The flesh is rich orange, very tender, buttery, and delicious. Sweet without tasting flat, with just enough acidity to make it pop.<\/p>\n

Solid variety, productive and delicious. The family liked this one best out of all our bicolors, though in my book the others held their own too. Very few seeds inside, barely a couple dozen seeds even in a giant tomato.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
