Apelsin



The same tomato green and ripe. The ripe one is split at the top from irregular watering. I'm sure it would have grown bigger under better circumstances.


Gigant d'Alacant and Apelsin: a size comparison. Note that neither was able to grow to full size. (The seedling in the middle is Viola odorata var. sulphurea, which sadly died later.)



I thought this was Zhelty Delikates (which, to increase the confusion, had been mixed up with Limmony Gigant) but the colour was all wrong. It did look like an orange version of the real Zhelty Delikates (the pointed baseball-sized tomato) but it tasted like Apelsin, so for now I'll assume that's what it was.


Four orange and yellow, easily confused Russian tomatoes: Orangevy Gigant, Limmony Gigant (or, as the package says, Gigant Limmony), Apelsin and Zhelty Delikates.
