MALACHITE BOX. A mid-early, large-fruited tomato variety producing unusual fruits in emerald-yellow and yellow-green shades. The plant is indeterminate and tall, usually reaching 1.2–1.5 m in height, so it requires staking and regular removal of side shoots. The fruits are large, generally weighing 200–400 g, but can reach 500–700 g under favorable growing conditions. The flesh is tender, meaty, juicy, and greenish in color.
The flavor is sweet, with almost no acidity and unusual fruity notes reminiscent of melon and kiwi. The variety is suitable for growing both outdoors and in greenhouses. Thanks to its distinctive color and dessert-like flavor, the tomatoes are especially good for fresh eating, salads, juices, and home cooking. Due to their thin skin, ripe fruits do not tolerate prolonged transportation or storage well.
VARIETY HISTORY
A Siberian-bred tomato variety developed by Russian breeders Vladimir Nikolaevich Dederko and O. V. Postnikova. It became well known for its unusual emerald-yellow fruit color, large size, and sweet flavor with fruity undertones. The variety has become popular among gardeners and collectors who appreciate unusual tomatoes with green flesh.
