currently unavailable This "early Siberian" selection from Russia is a high yielding, great tasting 'land race' of Russian tomatoes selected for cool and short seasons. (60-80 days) Dense fruit set of 2-3 inch size fruit adorns the short vines up to 3-4 ft. long. I have had splendid results with this variety with no cracking or blight. The plants tend to stay healthy and ripen over a long period for about a month. This selection was given to me from a breeding program maintained by an arboretum. Very uniform plants and yields. Widely regarded as one of the best Russian selections in terms of flavor and given high marks by those in the know in the tomato community about this open pollinated selection.
Further research could be done with this selection to improve yields and to stabilize the fruit size. These seeds were produced in isolation to maintain its integrity.

| Ease of Cultivation | One of the most fruitful early varieties and certainly worth growing for both its flavor and yields. Probably you use a good going through to stabilize the population a bit more on the yield side. Cracking was only an issue in one year out of four I grew it. I liked the flavor enough to keep this strain alive. |
