It is a very vigorous vine, with growers reporting heights anywhere from 1.7 m to almost 2.5 m (5.5 to 8 ft) in a greenhouse. The foliage is relatively sparse\/airy, allowing good light penetration.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Small, plum-shaped dark tomatoes (mahogany\/dark red\/brown) adorned with striking dark green stripes. They typically weigh between 35-70g (1.2-2.5 oz).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Texture:<\/strong> Sweet and juicy with a balanced acidity. The most famous characteristic of this variety is its interior texture, widely described by Russian growers as &#8220;marmalade-like&#8221; (dense, jammy, and jelly-like).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83e\udd6b <strong>Usage:<\/strong> While great for fresh snacking, it is considered an absolute top-tier variety for whole-fruit canning. They look beautiful in jars and hold their shape perfectly.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcc8 <strong>Yield:<\/strong> Opinions vary slightly based on growing conditions, but most growers report massive yields, with up to 20 small striped plums per truss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">Y<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Yanina (Olga) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (3,121 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Udmurtia, Russia (USDA Zone 3)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\nI also planted this little striped one, I like how it&#8217;s growing.

It grew from a green off-type (mislabeled seed) of &#8220;Shokoladka&#8221; (Chocolate), the seeds of which Natasha (Rizaia) sent me. I want to show one of the clones. 2 bushes were planted in the greenhouse and both were identical, but in the garden outside they were completely different \u2014 elongated with a small point\/beak, smaller (in width), and one was dark red with stripes (a tall indet), while the other was green with stripes, which I would classify more as a determinate (maybe it depends on growing conditions?).<\/p>\n<p>Here is the bush in all its glory.<\/p>\n<p>And here are the tomatoes up close. The color is slightly less bright, more brownish, which is why I called it a brown off-type. When the first fruits were ripening, it was generally dark brown.<\/p>\n<p>And their weight was from 35 to 55g (1.2-2 oz), with some reaching up to 70g (2.5 oz).<\/p>\n<p>And a cross-section.<\/p>\n<p>The bush is an indet, I trained it to 2 stems, but I wouldn&#8217;t say it&#8217;s very vigorous, and it&#8217;s quite airy\/see-through (wispy), not particularly leafy. And it fruited for a long time \u2014 this photo is from the end of September, and there are still many green ones. By the way, the tomatoes can hang on the bush for a long time without spoiling.<\/p>\n<p>Quite tasty, the inside is not dense, but rather, as Yaroslavna says, &#8220;marmalade-like&#8221; \ud83d\ude04. So, does it look like Superekzotik, or is it something else? If it&#8217;s something else, then I probably need to remove it from here and move it to an independent thread&#8230; I just don&#8217;t know which one \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/2\/135-181113084857.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/2\/thumb_135-181113084857.jpeg\" alt=\"Unknown striped tomato bush\" width=\"102\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/2\/135-181113084936.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/2\/thumb_135-181113084936.jpeg\" alt=\"Striped dark plum tomatoes resembling Super Exotic\" width=\"160\" height=\"133\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/2\/135-181113085016.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/2\/thumb_135-181113085016.jpeg\" alt=\"Dark striped plum tomatoes on scale\" width=\"142\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/2\/135-181113085124.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/2\/thumb_135-181113085124.jpeg\" alt=\"Sliced dark tomato showing marmalade flesh\" width=\"160\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/2\/135-181113085216.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/2\/thumb_135-181113085216.jpeg\" alt=\"Late season harvest of dark striped tomatoes\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">G<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Galina P. <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (37,710 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Moscow \/ Chekhov District (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Ninulya, your pretty little tomato needs to be moved to the &#8220;Help Identify the Variety&#8221; thread. \ud83d\ude09\ud83c\udf3a<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">N<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Ninulia (Nina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (39,541 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Southeastern Nizhny Novgorod Region (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Galya, I&#8217;ve already posted about it everywhere.
