hab, yours don't sound right.

Mine was textbook and I saved seed, so it's as easy as a stamp if you want to give it a whirl again. The toms would blush bronze when peak ripe, but best taste might be just before that. Toms were med to med-large with green inner walls and locules and whitish meaty centers. All were oblate and many were boxy, the green jewelry box comparison struck me as right on.

The indeterminate regular leaf plants lush growth characteristics were similar to my other Russian variants, Moskvic and Cosmonaut Volkov, but even thicker stalks, leaves, and branches. I wonder if all three of these varieties have determinate linage, I know very little, but they all have that look to them.

This plant in a container will require plenty of hydration. If those growing tips wilt in the heat of the day, my experience was mold will follow like clockwork.
