TOMATO CHRYSANTHEMUM. A mid-late variety, plant height about 1.5 m in open ground. The bush is indeterminate, vigorous, well-leafed, with strong shoots. It is distinguished by high yield: 5-8 fruits are formed per cluster. Requires staking to a support and pruning; training to 1-2 stems is recommended. It sets fruit well even in hot weather. The fruits are of an original shape — large, heavily ribbed, resembling a truffle or a chrysanthemum flower. The ribs become deeper and more pronounced towards the top, with a characteristic "waist" noticeable in the middle part.
The color is rich red, without green shoulders. The average weight is 220-350 g. The appearance is very striking both on the bush and in culinary presentation. The flesh is dense, meaty, with a tender texture and a small amount of seeds. The taste is distinctly tomato-like, well-balanced, and sweet. The fruits are of universal purpose: suitable for fresh consumption, stuffing (due to the internal cavities and strong walls), as well as for various types of culinary processing. The variety is valued for its unique shape, high yield, and rich flavor.
