Heirloom variety of Lithuanian origin.
Large pink fruit weighing 250 to 500 grams, elongated heart-shaped with a tapered tip and well-defined ribbing reminiscent of quarters. Strong depression at the peduncular attachment.
Meaty beefy flesh with a mild flavour and a very good sweet taste. Looks like Ukrainian Beefheart but with a more pronounced heart shape.
Fine, wispy, drooping foliage. Well suited to short summer and/or cool season regions.
Grown in 2016 in a greenhouse:
Comments: To be grown on several stems to channel the unusual vigour.
Vigorous plant, with a large development of small stems and a frail appearance, vaporous foliage.

Good old-fashioned tomato flavour.
No diseases to report.
