Light black, indeterminate tomato that produces both globe and beefsteak type tomatoes with light black flesh. Good flavor that is sweet with a touch of acidity with a nice juicy texture. Fruits have green shoulders, are slightly ribbed with some fasciation and cat-facing, weigh between 5-8 ounces, and measure 2-2.5 inches long by 2.5-3.5 inches wide. This variety is a great producer with an average of 3-4 fruit per cluster that mature mid-season. In 2020 trials at HF this variety grew between 3.5-5 ft. tall and the fruits showed cracking as well as a moderate tendency to split and had a BRIX of 6.0. From SSE member Nancy Arrowsmith (AUST AR N). This variety came from the Arche Noah seed bank in Austria, which obtained the variety in the town of Voronezh, USSR. SSE Accession # 123791
