Her notes: &#8220;Out of all similarly shaped varieties, this is hands down the best tasting for me. Indeterminate. Red, meaty elongated plums running 7-9 oz (200-250 g). Super sweet. Outstanding variety!&#8221;<br \/>\nI grew it last season and ran it again this year from saved seed. Genuinely delicious tomato. Rich, concentrated, sweet flavor. Heavy producer. Honestly, I couldn&#8217;t even toss it into everyday tossed salads because it was almost too sweet &#8211; tasted like somebody dumped white sugar all over it. But eaten fresh by itself? Absolute perfection. It dehydrates like a dream, too. Even though it&#8217;s juicy, it&#8217;s packed with dense, solid meat.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_10\/IMG_20200810_160813.jpg.db4506620bdf3644768d5487ebc316dc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_10\/IMG_20200810_160813.thumb.jpg.310212736f869e30c3de0f8c52759cf3.jpg\" alt=\"Cluster of elongated red plum tomatoes hanging on greenhouse vine\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_10\/2048200493_2.jpg.834313360a9f188c0c01e6b9d0883ba3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_10\/1925959987_2.thumb.jpg.fc0ba3c7b9ee86b839abd05bc6528603.jpg\" alt=\"Meaty red plum tomato held in hand showing blunt tip\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_10\/IMG_20190902_171138.jpg.b565b2cdf36a07268e1ffa6ed4292414.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_10\/IMG_20190902_171138.thumb.jpg.eccf3411e384316bdf59f273fe55c7d9.jpg\" alt=\"Harvested red paste tomatoes arranged in a plastic crate\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Svetikk (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (29,842 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Stupino District, Moscow Region (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">Sarnowski Polish Plum<br \/>\nGrew under cover in the greenhouse trained to two leaders.
