My Podsinee Miracle. Tasty but prone to vershinka (BER).. that’s a minus 🙁 The plus is that it is tasty, quite productive and large. Grew in the greenhouse.

I liked the variety, if it weren’t for the vershinka (BER), it would have been productive. Tasty and stored well.

I grew the variety from seeds taken by Sveta-Semechka from fruits bought in Minusinsk itself. It doesn’t like the heat, was grown in a greenhouse, against the western wall, it caught vershinka (BER). But the taste is 5+. I need to try planting it again, but this time in a “darker spot”, in a greenhouse with a cover on the ceiling and among other bushes.

My Pods. miracle – 2 plants were raised in a polycarbonate greenhouse. Set fruit not badly in the heat. The taste is a miracle. :yep: The first ones were huge, the later ones were also decent. They grew in the middle bed, moreover – the bush that grew on the shady side gave fewer fruits. Vershinka was occasional (1-2 fruits just slightly) without preventative treatments.

Very productive. Early. Dropped clusters in the heat. The taste didn’t impress me. Mine was bland.

I have a very frail bush growing, the very top looks as if it’s wilted. Very light green foliage compared to other bushes. It is in full bloom, set its first little tomato. Tell me, is it normal that it’s so limp?

I also have bright green foliage and twisted tops and leaves. But mine has only put out its first cluster so far.

Both the light green color and the drooping foliage (“weeping willow” type) are characteristics of the variety.

That is pleasing to hear. I read about the light foliage, but not about the drooping branches… now I feel better.

And also, on top of all this, I have a large distance between the clusters (3 bushes are growing in the greenhouse), is this also a varietal characteristic or are these my agricultural mistakes?

Most likely it is a varietal characteristic. Mine also had a large distance between clusters. And the bush itself is tall and sparse.

Yes, it is prone to stretching (getting leggy) in the greenhouse, like many varieties with icicle/elongated fruits.

In photos from the open ground in Minusinsk, the bushes are stockier than what I got, although they are also tall.

You can lean/train it under the roof, it set fruit well at the top.

I tried to grow it for the second time – there were some problems with pollination, vershinka (BER), but I managed to get a few fruits to taste it after all and collect a few seeds. Tasty, meaty, but not dry – I would repeat it from my own seeds, but not this year.
