Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is mid-season or mid-early with a ripening period from germination to harvest of 105–120 days. The plant height is most often described as indeterminate, ranging from 1.2 to 2.5 m, however, there are sometimes mentions of a semi-determinate growth type with a height limitation of 1.5–1.8 m.

The fruits have a heart shape, often with a pronounced "tip" at the apex and a moderately ribbed surface. When ripe, the tomatoes turn pink with a crimson hue. The weight of the fruits varies from 250 to 600 g, with individual specimens reaching 800–900 g. The flesh is characterized as fleshy and sugary, with a small number of seeds.

The plant possesses cold tolerance, the ability to withstand temperature fluctuations, and resistance to a number of fungal diseases, including rots, Alternaria, Verticillium wilt, and late blight. Due to its taste qualities and fleshiness, the fruits are used predominantly fresh, as well as for processing into juices, sauces, and pastes.
