I received this variety as a gift from a fellow forum member; I think it is from local folk/family heirloom seeds.
They grew in my greenhouse and showed themselves to be compact, strong bushes, 1.6-1.7 meters (5.2-5.5 ft) tall. The fruits are large, slightly gathered/ribbed, the color is more accurately described as pinkish-red, and they weighed up to 500 grams (1.1 lbs). It is a mid-late season variety. The yield is good.
The tomatoes are all so angular, you can immediately spot and distinguish them in a general pile of harvested tomatoes.
Galochka, that’s an interesting name! 👍 We have a village called Radishchevo in our region, maybe the name originates from there! 😄
