Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Aurora - ripe fruit. 2013-09-07.

B.C KO T

Det., compact but bushy plants with regular leaf foliage produce loads of perfectly shaped red round oblate fruits that are very juicy and have a very good tomato flavor that is more acidic than sweet. 2-6 oz. This is an impressive mega-producer, both grown in pots or in the open ground. No core, smooth shoulders, blemish free, no cracking. A perfect organic market tomato!
