Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Faribo Golden Heart (2) - ripe fruit. 2014-09-01.

B.C KO T

Indet., regular leaf plants produce medium sized golden orange fruits that are not heart shaped despite the name. Not sure why it was called 'heart'. Fruits are oblate and round, blemish free, with firm and meaty flesh. We have not observed any cracking, even in rainy weather. 4-6 oz. Great flavor, more acidic than sweet. (limited, 15 seeds / packet)

Seed source:

1. Julien Schmit, Nancy, France 09 / TomatoFest 08

2. Patty Brown, Ohio 07

Year grown: 2014

Location: Zone 7b, PNW, Anmore, BC, Canada (760 ft above sea level)
