OSU O BLONDE AVEC TETONS (BLONDE WITH BIG BREASTS). A rare mid-season collector's variety developed from Oregon State University (OSU P20) breeding lines. It is valued for its exceptional productivity, unusual fruit shape, and outstanding dessert flavor. The plant is indeterminate, vigorous, and reaches 1.5 m (5 ft) in open ground. Strong-growing plants set fruit reliably throughout the season. Large trusses carry 7-8 fruits weighing 150-250 g (5.3-8.8 oz) each.
Productivity is exceptionally high. The fruits are elongated plum-shaped with a distinctive pointed tip and a rich red color. The shoulders may develop a light anthocyanin blush, which becomes more pronounced when grown in full sun. The skin is firm, the fruits are uniform, transport well, and have excellent storage quality. A versatile variety, ideal for fresh eating, salads, thick juices, sauces, tomato paste, and whole-fruit canning.
FLAVOR
The flesh is very dense, meaty, buttery, and deep red, with a rich tomato aroma. The flavor is exceptionally sweet, well balanced, and almost free of excessive acidity. Thanks to its firm texture and outstanding taste, this variety is equally suitable for fresh consumption and all types of processing. Blonde with Big Breasts is rightly regarded as one of the finest large plum-shaped tomatoes.
