The name translates to &#8220;Kangaroo Heart&#8221;, reflecting the shape and massive size of the fruit.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate (tall), reaching 1.5 &#8211; 1.8 meters (5-6 ft). The bush is strong, healthy, and has moderate foliage.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Beautiful, perfectly shaped dark-red (sometimes described as crimson) oxhearts. They are very large, mostly ranging from 300g to 600g (10.5-21 oz). Unlike many delicate pink oxhearts, these dark red hearts have excellent keeping quality.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> The flesh is tender and dark red. It has a rich, intense, balanced tomato flavor (sweetness perfectly combined with a touch of acidity), which is bolder than typical mild pink oxhearts. <strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> In extreme heatwaves (+40\u00b0C \/ 104\u00b0F), the fruits may develop tough white internal fibers, which disappear when temperatures cool down.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcc8 <strong>Yield:<\/strong> Rated as highly productive with an extended fruiting period, often producing large fruits all the way up the vine without skipping trusses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">A<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Angelina <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (11,071 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Russia<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>A very tasty, productive variety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">A<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Alena Andreeva <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (12,011 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Russia<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>My Kangaroo Heart<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/30\/70-120814040145.jpeg\" alt=\"Massive Kangaroo Heart tomato weighing over 800 grams\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">T<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">trofi (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (10,715 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd South of Moscow Region (USDA Zone 4-5)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>The variety is productive, the bush is strong and healthy.
