I join in the raves—it is an excellent, productive, tasty, and unusual cocktail variety. There are a lot of fruits, they are sweet, weighing up to 50g (1.7 oz). Indeterminate, grew in the greenhouse in 2 stems, potato leaf type.

Svetik! Would Psamathe work for sun-drying? Is it a juicy tomato?

It’s juicy but firm. I don’t think it would be very good for drying, in my opinion.
Wonderful round tomatoes. Balanced sweet and sour taste. The skin is a bit tough.
Two of them accidentally lay in a box for more than a month. They dried out a little and lost some flavor, but they didn’t spoil.

Nah, I didn’t like it for drying. The walls are too thin. And the taste for me is just a B+. I prefer richer-tasting dark varieties.
My Psamathe also turned out to be very productive. An interesting variety. Thanks for the seeds, Tanya!
Hello friends! If it isn’t too much trouble, could you describe the bush? What is it like? Is it wimpy and fragile like the heart-shaped varieties, or not? I really want to grow this variety, but I am severely lacking space (((( How much space should I allocate for it?

Give it full space, the bush is definitely not wimpy.

Could you elaborate a bit more, please? For example, Malakhitovaya Shkatulka (Malachite Box) takes up 45×45 cm (1.5×1.5 ft) for me, and that’s enough, but Chocolate was a bit cramped. I want to take into account the experience of people who have already planted Psamathe… Also, how should I prune it? Can it handle 3 stems, or is it better not to risk it? Thanks in advance for any tips!
Psamathe’s fruits are not large. It will easily handle more than two stems. I pruned mine to four stems. I think it could have even handled five.

Mine grew in 2 stems on the south side of the greenhouse, I had to bend it along the roof. Its leaves are large, potato-type. I didn’t measure anything in centimeters, I do everything by eye. The more stems you decide to leave, the more space you need to allocate.
Thank you! I will figure it out experimentally then )))

That is a wise decision. Tell us later how it worked out for you.
