FEMALE CAPRICE PURPLE. Is an early, large-fruited variety from the collection of breeder Vitaliy Gennadievich Alifirov (Almaty, Kazakhstan). The variety has two known lines — chocolate and purple. The fruits are large, round and flattened, with a rich purple color and a smooth, matte-glossy surface. The plant is vigorous and indeterminate, reaching approximately 1.8 m in height when grown outdoors. It sets fruit well, producing 3–4 tomatoes per truss, with an average weight of 400–700 g.
When cut, the fruits have juicy purple-red flesh with medium-sized seed chambers. The flesh is tender and juicy, with a pleasant balance of sweetness and mild acidity. The flavor is rich and full, with a pronounced tomato aroma. The large fruits are best suited for fresh eating, salads and slicing. To obtain a well-formed crop, the plant requires staking and timely removal of side shoots.
