Zolotaya Kanareika

• A rare Golden Canary from Russia: Zolotaya Kanareika, also known as Zolotaya Kanareyka (Золотая канарейка) or Golden Canary, is a distinctive Russian heirloom tomato. Its name literally means Golden Canary, a fitting reference to the striking yellow-orange colour and graceful shape of its fruits. This variety remains relatively uncommon outside its country of origin.
• Golden fruits with a distinctive pointed tip: The elongated, plum-shaped tomatoes generally weigh between 30 and 60 grams and ripen to a warm yellow or golden-orange colour. Their most remarkable feature is the tapering blossom end, sometimes developing into a slightly curved, beak-like point. Fruit shapes may vary somewhat within the same cluster.
• Impressive clusters carrying dozens of fruits: Zolotaya Kanareika belongs to the multiflora group, producing exceptionally large, richly branched flower clusters. These develop into impressive trusses of approximately 30 tomatoes, giving the plants a particularly decorative appearance during harvest.
• Firm flesh, especially suited to cooking: The dense, thick-walled flesh contains relatively little gel and offers a rather mild, average tomato flavour. Its firm structure makes this variety particularly suitable for preserving, canning and cooked preparations.
• Vigorous plants with abundant harvests: The plants have an indeterminate growth habit and develop strongly, with dense, luxuriant foliage and a height of approximately 2 metres. Sturdy support is essential for carrying the large fruit clusters. Production is exceptionally abundant from mid-season onwards and may continue until the first frost under favourable conditions.
