CHERRY GYPSY. A tall collector's variety with striking heart-shaped purple fruits and anthocyanin "shoulders." It is important to note that this is not the classic Russian-bred variety "Gypsy", but rather an independent collector's line distributed in the catalogs of private collectors. The exact country of origin is not specified in most sources. The plants are vigorous, with simple, thin leaves, and are distinguished by good growth strength and stable yield. Staking and training to 1-2 stems are recommended to obtain large and uniform fruits. The fruits are heart-shaped, with a neat, pronounced "nose," weighing from 100 to 250 g. The tomatoes look very decorative and attractive.
The variety is mid-early, indeterminate, reaching 1.7-1.8 m in height. The color is dark red or dark purple with rich anthocyanin shoulders, which are particularly pronounced under good lighting. The flesh is juicy, meaty, with a small amount of seeds. The taste is rich, very sweet, with light spicy and fruity notes, practically without pronounced acidity. The skin is thin, yet the fruits show good resistance to cracking. The variety is valued for its combination of rare coloration, heart shape, and bright dessert flavor. An excellent choice for collectors of anthocyanin tomatoes and lovers of unusual, showy varieties with a rich aroma and sweet character.
