K. C. Buffalo NY for SV & GWS Tomato Grow Out 2023
Tolstyi Dzhek is a high-yielding tomato variety suitable for both open ground and greenhouses. It is a compact, determinate (bush) tomato with plants reaching a height of around 2 feet. The tomatoes are large, red, and have a flat-round shape. They are known for their fragrant, sweet, and very dense flesh, weighing between 3.5 to 10 ounces.
This Russian commercial variety is highly regarded for its exceptional flavor. It offers a balanced tangy tomato taste without being tart. Eating these tomatoes will remind you of the delightful flavors of summertime.
Tolstyi Dzhek is also known for its super early production. The plants bear clusters of perfectly red orbs, ripening mostly at the same time. This characteristic makes it an excellent choice for those interested in making sauces or for those who prefer to have a bountiful harvest without the need for prolonged waiting. The tomatoes are meaty and packed with flavor, making them a desirable option for various culinary uses. ~ants
