Utyonok - a new Russian dwarf tomato

Andrey_BY · July 6, 2007

This is a new Russian truly dwarf tomato variety with suppose to be golden-orange lemon shaped small to middle size fruits. I really fond of its leaf and the whole apperance of foliage (something like triangle). Utyonok means "A Little Duck" in Russian.

Hope to offer more Utyonok seeds in autumn

Yes, they are loaded with fruits. The height is about 40 cm now.

I think these dwarfies are the tomato equivalent of the iPod. Very cool.

The trusses look like the tomato Juhas that I grew this year. Very cool.

Juhas has got another type of foliage and quite different trusses for me

Anlike for many traditional tomato varieties with heart shaped fruit it has not a wispy foliage...

Rena · July 8, 2007

I meant the way the trusses seem to rise over the foliage.

it is a distict look to me.

Andrey_BY · July 8, 2007

I understand you. But Juhas' trusses can rise both over and under the foliage as seen on that photo

Well, this is what we finally have got from this beauty.

I love this plant and its fruits. And the flavor is also very good for a deep orange colored tomato! Bland is nowhere here. Some acid bytes are living there and I like it very much! The shape is kind of heart or a lemon type (orange colored lemon in fact

). Fruit is small 30-50 g, but a total productivity is an excellent for a such a dwarf plant only 30-40 cm in height! Enjoy

P.S. Seeds will be available in autumn

Andrey-Beautiful looking fruit!

Rena · August 10, 2007

Yes, I like it!!

bcday · August 10, 2007

Andrey, I think you need to save LOTS of seeds!

Andrey_BY · August 10, 2007

I'm growing only 2 plants this year

.

Thanks for your positive comments. To tell the truth I had no idea that this would be a dwarf tomato variety with such a nice fruits and flavor. I had got a very poor describtion from originator...
