VICTORIA SMILE. A striking heirloom-style variety developed by Mark McCaslin (USA) and introduced in 2017. Its extraordinary tricolor fruit coloration, elegant pear-shaped form, and exceptional fruity flavor have made it one of the most fascinating modern collector's tomatoes. The plant reaches its highest productivity during the second half of the growing season, when it fully reveals its outstanding potential. A mid-season indeterminate variety with a vigorous, well-developed plant. In open-ground cultivation it reaches approximately 1.5 m (5 ft) in height. The stems are strong, while the dense potato-leaf foliage provides excellent protection from sunscald.

Each truss produces 4-5 beautifully uniform fruits, and fruiting continues almost until the end of the season. The tomatoes are pear-shaped, almost truffle-like, with characteristic longitudinal ribs extending from the stem to the blossom end. Average fruit weight ranges from 100-180 g, although under different growing conditions some fruits may be slightly smaller. The coloration is truly spectacular: an emerald-green background is beautifully interwoven with bright red and golden-yellow stripes, creating a unique tricolor pattern.

Every fruit has its own distinctive design, making each tomato appear like a small work of natural art. The skin is smooth, firm, and glossy, providing excellent crack resistance, good transportability, and outstanding keeping quality. The flesh is dense, juicy, and greenish with a characteristic reddish core that creates a beautiful bicolor effect when sliced. The seed cavities are small, leaving most of the fruit filled with fragrant, meaty flesh.

FLAVOR

The flavor is rich, harmonious, and remarkably refined. Natural sweetness blends beautifully with delicate fruity acidity and subtle spicy notes, creating a bright, complex flavor profile. The flesh is firm, tender, and aromatic, leaving a long, pleasant finish with delicate fruity undertones. This variety will especially appeal to connoisseurs of unusual green-when-ripe tomatoes with rich, sophisticated flavors. The fruits are excellent for fresh eating, salads, vegetable platters, and elegant culinary presentations.

Thanks to their firm texture, the fruits also transport well and can be stored for some time without losing their quality. Victoria Smile is one of the most spectacular tricolor tomatoes of modern American breeding. It combines extraordinary emerald, red, and golden coloration, elegant pear-shaped fruits, outstanding ornamental value, excellent keeping quality, and a vibrant fruity-spicy flavor. A variety that will undoubtedly become a highlight of any tomato collection and bring genuine enjoyment.
