History
- Russian variety, introduced to North America by Andrey Baranovski of Minsk, Belarus in 2008-2009.
- North American growers, including Victory Seed Company who grew out this variety from the seeds supplied by Andrey, described this tomato as red, but the original Russian name means 'Pink Pear' or 'Purple Pear', so something must have happened in the seed exchange and crossed or incorrect seeds were distributed (?)
Russian name: Малиновая груша
- The name means 'Pink Pear' or 'Purple Pear'.
