I grew Kardinal in a 5 gallon pot this year. It did pretty well but EM Champion was the best I thought.

The above 4 mentioned will be hard to match or beat .... When Filtered for EARLY , High Yield , Container friendly etc. I will stay on course and try for 2018 : Danko and Dwarf Lemon Ice as well . But still It is hard to imagine many other hearts being as fine.

Larisa
Yes, with only one qualifier, it likes to put out suckers like crazy, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on your needs. Medium large to large fruit. I'd send you seeds but I'm on a self imposed TSWV quarantine.

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Danko Another one to consider is Podarok Fe ( gift of the Fairy),also det and a very small orange heart. I sent seeds of it to someone I think maybe 2 years ago who wanted to use it to create an orange multiflora. http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Podarok_Fei Carolyn

I think Podarok Fei was offered by Victory seeds before ... maybe still does if one asks nicely ? Sounds most interesting to try .

http://www.victoryseeds.com/tomato_podorok-fei.html I tried it when Carolyn had it in her offer some years ago. It didn't make it to fruit production that year, but it tried hard, so I bought some seed from Victory and it's grown here (in the ground) and done well. When happy, it produced fruit a little larger than Zolotoe Serdtse, though as per Victory's listing, there was a size range. Both those, when happy, were earlyish and abundant producers, here, though. |

I did follow it and checked it out ..it is good to know they(Victory) still sell the seeds.. BUT for me Victory describes this one as 95 days ..... which is a stretch and a bit to much of a risk in my climate . .....I am so Happy this year with the Zolotoe Serdtse and the Heavy Yield ...Victory seeds lists that one as 75 days .

When I first listed it in that offer I think I may have used 3 O's but it was Tania who corrected me,and I made that correction on the first page of the offer and asked all to change it to http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Podarok_Fei Not much info in the above link and no time to go back and look at the list of varieties that Andrey usually sends me each year. Whatever,I think it's a really good variety. Carolyn
