Marmalade Temptation Tomato (10-15 seeds)
The 'Marmalade Temptation' tomato variety, also known as 'Marmeladnoye Iskusheniye', is a creation of the renowned Russian breeder Sofia Saakova. This is the green split of Sofia's fabulous Temptation variety that is red. True to its name, this variety is prized for its "marmalade" internal texture.
Breeder: Sofia Saakova (Russia)
Growth Habit: Indeterminate (vining type), meaning it will continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the season until frost. It typically reaches a height of around 1.8 meters
Fruit Characteristics:
Colour: Vibrant bi-colour, often showing shades of yellow, gold, and orange with pink or red marbling, as the variety is not yet entirely stable. Fruits are stunningly heart shaped with some more elongated. Pulp is dense, jelly-like, multi-coloured flesh
Weight: Fruits generally weigh between 130 and 200+ grams.
Taste: Marmalade Temptation has a very high sugar content and a fruity, complex aroma that lacks the sharp acidity of traditional tomatoes. It leans heavily into the "dessert tomato" category.
Season: It's an early to mid-season variety with first ripe fruits 110 days from seed sowing.
