This variety is a family heirloom from Ussuriysk city (Russian Far East). They have been growing it for ages.
Midseason , indet. RL, 200-400 g fruit 3-6 per truss, no cracking, excellent old-fashion tomato flavour and a very good yield. The color is bright red-orange. Very meaty fruit, few seeds. We call this fruit shape a bomb-like. Usually very healthy plants with thick stem. Great variety indeed. ![]() ![]()

The color is close to orange here. How about the shape of your fruit?

Not heart, but elongated bomb shaped like on the second picture. A very bright red-almost orange color.
