Skin and outer walls were similar to a paste but it's more heart shaped and the interior is juicier than a modern paste tomato, but maybe not as juicy as Amish Paste. The vine was easier to manage than Amish Paste which I find too floppy and limp to grow in a cage or tie to a stake. Ludmilla's was easy to grow up a stake.

Also, it wasn't mealy like a Roma type, and I thought it tasted way better than a Roma type paste or the more modern hybrid paste tomatoes and used it for a salad tomato rather than a cooking tomato.

It was productive in a poor location with newly turned and minimally amended soil with only about 6 hours full sun in the afternoon. So it deserves a chance in better conditions to prove itself more fully.
