Tomato "Chudo Vnukovoy"

PACKAGING: Sachet Zip lock 12 - 15 SEEDS

2. History: A family heirloom from tomato collector Svetlana Vnukova. Svetlana Vnukova lives in the Russkiye Tishki village in the Kharkiv region. She grows a variety of vegetables ranging from tomatoes, peppers and eggplants to different pumpkins, which are rare in Ukraine. As a matter of interest,

Chudo Vnukovoy has become so popular that companies sell its seeds in colorful packs but the shape and weight (and especially history) do not comply with those of the original variety. We received the seeds from Svetlana and are very grateful to her. This variety is really wonderful! Please find a link to her Facebook account: Svetlana Vnukova.

3. Plant Specifications: Mid-season. A good choice for outdoors or a greenhouse. Tall bush, indeterminate, growing 6-6.5 feet (180-200 cm) tall. Thick stem, regular leaf. Regular truss, 4-5 fruits per truss.

4. Training Instructions: This variety can be trained to two or three main stems. Training, pruning and staking are a must.

5. Shape and Weight: Very large and elongated plum-shaped fruits resembling peppers by their thickness. Sometimes with almost invisible facets. Fits well in your hand. Weight: 7-9 oz. (200-250 g).

6. Color: Red.

7. Flavor Profile: Sweet and slightly acidic. Bright tomato flavor. The flesh is really exciting – it is meaty, sugary and delicious!

8. Culinary Use: Perfect for fresh salads, sandwiches or pizza. A good choice for canning whole tomatoes (the fruits are large but they will fit in a big jar along with the small fruits that will fill up cavities with the large fruits).

Great for pickling and for salting with cold water. Ideal for thick and full-flavored sauces and paste. Great as sun dried tomatoes or frozen slices. Buckets of fruits were collected though only eight bushes were planted. Yes, this variety is a real Miracle by Vnukova. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Svetlana.
