Zolotaya Pulya (Golden Bullet)
This is a great variety, good yield, good shelf life, yet still sweet and juicy. On the down side, it seems to be more mold-susceptible than my other plants. |

You are all quite welcome.
Bower, I just ate a few Juan Flammee today. I think it is the best orange saladette for fresh eating. Some people say it can be too juicy. Shelf life of the JF is very short though, like a lot of heirloom varieties. The Golden Bullet I'd rate as a very close second in flavor, just about as good, and it will sit on my counter for 3-4 times as long without going bad. De Barao Orange is another small orange tomato I like. Like Golden Bullet, it also has a history of being a Russian commercial variety. Flavor is not quite as good as the other two, but still better than any hybrid I have had, and the De Barao is the shelf life champion. They refuse to go bad. They'll sit for a month and still look good enough to sell. That pic of the sliced Golden Bullet reminds me of Sladkij Ponchik, a yellow slicer I like, also former Russian commercial variety. These are all firm tomatoes, which I used to think I didn't like, but they are firm because the fruit have thick walls. There is a lot of juice inside to compensate. So a tomato can be firm and juicy at the same time. I didn't know that until I ran across these Russian varieties. |

Thanks, Cole, those are interesting observations. Shelf life is absolutely a consideration, and one of the reasons I appreciated Zolotoe Serdtse which is also very firm. But you can also have a thin skinned and less firm tomato that has great staying power

This is Grot, another former Russian commercial variety that I like. It is firm like the others, but still has good tomato flavor.

On another note, I sprayed Met52 for my whiteflies a few days ago, and I hardly saw any at all today. They had gotten bad by the time I sprayed, so it was very effective.
