It\u2019s a very tasty pink tomato with a little beak. High yielding and resistant to late blight (phytophthora). The plant characteristics are just like the classic De Barao or Tarasenko types: very tall (taller than me, and I&#8217;m 1.6m \/ 5&#8217;3&#8243;), and it sets fruit without skipping a single truss.<\/p>\n<p>The tomato is extremely delicious, in my opinion. The drawbacks: it is not an early variety, it tends to crack during large temperature swings, and it gets quite soft when fully ripe. I&#8217;m looking at my photos right now and scolding myself\u2014I really should have planted it again this year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/58\/826-190315060311.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/58\/thumb_826-190315060311.jpeg\" alt=\"Tarasenko Rozovyi (Tarasenko Pink) tomatoes hanging on the vine\" width=\"91\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/58\/826-190315055320.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/58\/thumb_826-190315055320.jpeg\" alt=\"Ripe Tarasenko Pink tomato with a little beak on a scale\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/58\/826-190315055434.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/58\/thumb_826-190315055434.jpeg\" alt=\"Cross section of Tarasenko Rozovyi tomato\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">O<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">OLGA (Olga) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,735 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Voronezh Region, Russia (USDA Zone 4-5)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>It looks very similar to my Canning <em>Budenovka<\/em> (perfect for jars), which people here on the forum have identified as <em>De Barao Tsarskiy<\/em> (Royal De Barao) \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">M<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">mopsdad1 (Mikhail) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (6,123 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Stary Oskol, Russia (USDA Zone 5)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Most likely, that&#8217;s exactly what it is.
