Moravskoe Chudo (Moravian Wonder) Tomato Review

I looked and couldn’t find this little tomato in the catalog… I’ll try to write a bit about it – Moravskoe Chudo (Moravian Wonder). The seeds were a gift from a meetup, I’m embarrassed but I don’t remember who gave them to me 😳. Outdoors in the dirt, it didn’t get very tall and wasn’t super prolific, but the very first ripe tomato of the season outdoors came from this vine. In the cucumber greenhouse, it started ripening later 😮 🤷

Did a taste test on July 9th – the tomato is quite firm with a pretty good taste, especially for an early variety. It’s somewhat sweeter than the forum-favorite June tomato (which, if you don’t rush to pick it at the breaker stage and let it ripen fully on the vine, is actually quite good itself). But it falls short of Spring Frosts in terms of yield, fruit size, and flavor. At first, it went perfectly into fresh salads, and later when we had too many salad tomatoes, it went into canning. Although it’s a bit soft for canning. Overall, I’m happy with this little tomato.

My seeds were originally from Redko. Potato leaf, height outdoors in the dirt was 4 ft (1.2 m), in the greenhouse 5 ft (1.5 m). Very early, productive, round fruits weighing 2.1-2.8 oz (60-80 g), red-brownish color. I’ve been planting it for several years now. Outdoors I prune it to 3-4 stems. It’s one of the very first to ripen, the only one that ever beat it for me was the June tomato.

One year I planted it simultaneously outdoors and in the greenhouse. It performs much better in the dirt. In the greenhouse, the yield was lower and the fruits started getting smaller. I absolutely love the taste, it’s sweetish. On the last photo – Moravian Wonder is on the far right side, 4 little tomatoes.

Really loved this variety!!! The first one ripened right after the June tomato at the end of June, producing a sea of uniform, red fruits. They don’t crack, very tasty, tender texture, sweetish. Potato leaf, reached 6.5 ft (2 m) in the poly greenhouse. This is my new love for a long time.

The best of the earlies that I’ve tried! Ripened in 100 days from sprouting.

Indeterminate up to 5 ft (1.5 m). Potato leaf. At first I pruned it to 1 stem, but somewhere after the 3rd truss (when the normal tomatoes started coming in) I stopped pruning the suckers, and it just started growing however it wanted, including throwing a couple more leaders from the root. Photo is from August 25th. Alive, healthy, still fruiting)

Round fruits, 1.4-2.1 oz (40-60 g) each, and they are so delicious that after tasting them I decided to stop looking for other early varieties. I compared it against two other strains this year that were the tastiest for me in 2018 – Sprint-2 and Balkonnoe Chudo (Balcony Wonder). Stupice is tastier.

In the photo comparing 2 early varieties: top 2 are Stupice, bottom 1 is Sprint-2. Stupice, despite having a slight green tint, is significantly sweeter.

Grew it in the poly greenhouse. Pruned to 4 stems. Powerful, highly productive variety with good tomato flavor.
