The 'Bear's Heart' tomato variety is a medium-early indeterminate bush reaching about 1.5-1.8 meters in height, requiring sturdy support and strict training into 1-2 stems to support heavy clusters of fruit. The bushes are strong and productive, capable of withstanding natural disasters, making this variety a favorite among gardeners for many years.
The fruits of the 'Bear's Heart' tomato are large and distinctly heart-shaped with a ribbed structure. The weight of one fruit varies from 300 grams to 1 kilogram, with early fruits usually weighing around 400-500 grams, while later ones may be heavier. The color of the fruits ranges from bright red to deep pink with a pinkish hue. The flesh is dense, juicy, meaty, with a rich sweet flavor and a slight acidity, practically seedless, making them especially pleasant to eat.
The skin of the fruits is thin, weightless, and not noticeable during tasting, yet sufficiently firm, ensuring good fruit storage. The variety is versatile in use: the fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, salads, sauces, pasta, and canning. 'Bear's Heart' has good resistance to major tomato diseases, further enhancing its appeal for cultivation.
