It was originally distributed by a grower named Galya-64 around the year 2000. Because it had no official name, it spread across the internet under various names: <em>Galya&#8217;s Truffle, Raspberry Truffle,<\/em> or <em>Folk Truffle (Narodnyi)<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate (tall). Performs excellently in both greenhouses and open ground. Growers note that outdoor yields are often higher, but greenhouse plants ripen earlier and produce late into the autumn.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Red-pink (raspberry) pear or truffle-shaped tomatoes weighing roughly 90-150 g (3.1-5.2 oz). <strong>Important Trait:<\/strong> The variety is genetically prone to prominent &#8220;green shoulders&#8221; (yellow\/green tops even when ripe). Some growers find this charming, noting the skin is thin and doesn&#8217;t ruin the texture.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Culinary Use:<\/strong> A highly versatile variety. Firm yet juicy and sweet. Their perfect size and dense walls make them top-tier for whole canning in jars, but they are equally loved in fresh salads.<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <strong>Yield, Storage &amp; Challenges:<\/strong> Exceptionally high yielder and an outstanding &#8220;long keeper&#8221;\u2014growers report storing them successfully until late December (though they can get hard\/woody if kept too long). <em>Warning:<\/em> It can be susceptible to Blossom End Rot (BER) in the greenhouse and requires generous potassium feeding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown this variety?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Click here to add your own photos and review below!<\/a><\/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\">Galya-64 (Galina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (4,414 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Russia<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<blockquote><p><strong>AleksandrS said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Galya, what kind of truffle do you have?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sasha, it&#8217;s this red-pink one, always productive, the absolute tastiest for pickling\/canning and always a pleasure in a salad.

Maybe the topics should be merged?<\/p>\n<p>This variety did not work out for me at all. Yes, it was very productive, but with shoulders on half the tomato. It caught either BER (blossom end rot) or regular rot. In the end, I harvested almost nothing from two bushes. One bush grew in the greenhouse and one in open ground. The taste was also so-so. Perhaps I gave it too little potassium. The potential of the variety is very good, I will try to plant it again someday with intensive potassium feeding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\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\">Yulya (Yulia) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (26,992 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Alexandrov, Russia<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<blockquote><p><strong>TatyanaSh said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, it was very productive, but with shoulders on half the tomato.
