Staroobryadcheskiy
Medium-sized (up to 12 oz.), slightly flattened red fruits with some retention of green shoulders when ripe. Flavor is excellent: lively, rich and delicious. Regular leaf, indeterminate vines are
exceptionally healthy, fast-growing and productive. A rare variety from Siberia, Старообрядческий translates to “Old Believers”, referring to natives of the Siberian Taiga. Indeed this has been one of the earliest producers of larger-fruited tomatoes. Seed source was Natalia Khilenko of Armavir, Russia.
