One of the most popular tomato varieties of Russian origin, although some sources suggest it has Ukrainian roots. The fruits are medium-sized, dark in color, very juicy, with a balanced, full flavor that combines sweetness with a slight tartness. The skin is thin and delicate, making the fruit prone to bruising and requiring careful handling. This variety is often compared to “
Brazilian Beauty,” though its fruits are slightly smaller. The ripening period is approximately 75 days from transplanting. The plant is very tall and vigorous, which means it requires staking. The foliage is regular-leaf, typical of tall-growing tomato varieties. Ideal for growing in greenhouses or in sunny spots in the garden.
