65-75 days, Indeterminate. Large, heart-shaped tomato with few seeds and minimal juices- this is a perfect multi-purpose tomato for both sauce making and fresh eating. Comes from Russia where it was grown by the Sisters of the Holy Myrrh Bearers for generations. Cultivation dates back as far as the 1800s. These sisters gave it to Kristi Appelhans of Idaho Falls, Idaho, who gave it to the Snake River Seed Cooperative, who gave it to us! |
