Quote by Galina P.:
And still, I think that Sevryuga and SevEryuga are two completely different varieties.
Galya, it’s possible that the varieties are different, but the word “SevEryuga” doesn’t even exist in the Russian language at all.
Perhaps it’s a derivative of “Sever” (North)? Like Zhadina – Zhadyuga (greedy person), Sever – Severyuga (harsh north), etc. The word “yugA” (souths) doesn’t officially exist either, but we hear it often.
It seemed to me right away that it was an “intensification,” like a synonym for the “extreme north.”
Andrey also gifted me this variety, but in last year’s unpredictable summer, it “didn’t work out” for me. I’ll try again.
Svetlanka, maybe such a word doesn’t exist in the Russian language, but a tomato under that name exists. 😄 Actually, even if it’s a provisional name, the tomato is just wonderful! 👍 I will definitely plant it. And I will call it by the same name under which I received it — “SevEryuga”.
Svet, I think this thread needs to be split into two — Sevryuga and Severyuga. 😉
Who the hell knows! “Sevryuga” is a species of fish, “Severyuga” is a tomato variety that was sold in Soviet times… now it’s “perestroika”. And dictionaries don’t even have all the words that people actually say… So I don’t know whose breeding it is, but the tomato has adapted well to our area and doesn’t change in taste, yield, or appearance. The only thing is the weather — sometimes it doesn’t allow it to grow large and fruit abundantly. But there were years when it was completely covered in fruit and I picked 10-12 kg (22-26 lbs) from a bush.
I also think there’s no need to divide the thread, otherwise we’ll get completely confused. 😄 If someone likes the tomato with my name, distribute it among the forum members and I’ll help. I just like this variety and will continue to grow it no matter what. Varieties that grow in harsh conditions should adapt even better (faster) in milder climates than “southern” varieties do here.
Translation of the seed packets causing all the confusion:
Packet 1: SEVRYUGA
Description: A new variety from Siberian breeders with very large fruits. With proper care, you can grow tomatoes weighing up to 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs). Mid-season variety, determinate bush, 1.0-1.5 m (3.3-5 ft) tall. Fruits are large and beautiful, with a pronounced heart shape, bright red color, and excellent taste. Yield is up to 5 kg (11 lbs) per plant.
Packet 2: PUDOVIK (SEVRYUGA)
Description: A new variety from Siberian breeders with very large fruits. With proper care, you can grow tomatoes weighing up to 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs). Mid-season variety, determinate bush, 1.0-1.5 m (3.3-5 ft) tall. Fruits are large and beautiful, with a pronounced heart shape, raspberry-red color, and excellent taste. Yield is up to 5 kg (11 lbs) per plant.
Andryusha, you already helped! 🌺🌺🌺 I managed not to photograph it, your Severyuga. But the variety is very worthy. Large-fruited, productive, tasty. 👍 I shared it with the girls 😳.
SeVeryuga from Andrey.
Andryushenka, thank you.
Lidusik, did you save seeds?? They turned out a bit small….
Andrey, that’s a very large Dish they are sitting on 😄😄😄, they grew in a new greenhouse practically on pure sand. Therefore they are not extremely large, but tasty. I saved plenty of seeds.
For some reason, they are not wrinkled/ribbed at all. Probably too young still 😄
Out of three tomatoes grown from the “Sevryuga” packet, two turned out to be Sevryugas, and one — SevEryuga. 😉
Severyuga’s fruits are larger, but there are fewer of them per truss. So the yield is practically the same. Sevryuga tastes a bit brighter. But overall — they are very similar.
I grew SevEryuga this year, Ksyusha (KsenaZ) shared the seeds, for which I thank her very much. The tomato is wonderful! 👍 Large, from 300g (10.5 oz) and up, oblate tomatoes, meaty, raspberry-pink, sugary, very tasty. Will plant next year. 👍
Thanks to Andrey for the Severyuga seeds! 🎩 Productive, beautiful, and tasty tomato. Right next to it grew Severyuga from the girls on the forum. For some reason, it produced gnarly fruits and less tasty. Seeds from the “author” performed better for me. My husband wouldn’t let them turn fully red — he ate Severyuga first and foremost.
Is Severyuga an indet (indeterminate)?
Yes, an indet. Sevryuga is too.
The SibSad packet for Sevryuga says that the bush is determinate.
Mine is specifically the SibSad one. It also says it’s a det 1-1.5 meters (3-5 ft). But, as they say — don’t believe your eyes.
I’ve been planting it for several years and every time — they are indets. In the greenhouse, I have to restrict their growth.
Outdoors in open ground, closer to autumn, the tops poke out of the shelter to breathe. They poke out quite significantly. And my shelters for tall plants on the outdoor beds are 1.4m (4.6 ft) high.
No, I believe you.
This year I plan to plant them outdoors for the first time. Irina, do you remember, are their trusses like indets (every 3 leaves), or like dets (every 1-2)?
My Sevryuga was also an indet, every 3 leaves.
Irinka, was it mid-early or mid-late for you?
Irish, definitely not late. More like mid-early.
A typical indet. Every 3 leaves.
Last season I grew Sevryuga in the greenhouse. The bush turned out 1.5 meters (5 ft) tall, productive, mid-season ripening. The fruits were large, pink, heart-shaped. Very tasty, meaty.
Planted this variety last season. I have it under the name SevEryuga from Galochka-GalinaP, for which a huge thanks to her. The variety is simply wonderful. It was quite early for me, very productive and tasty. Grew 2 bushes in the greenhouse and one outside. It performed well in both places, hardly dropped any blossoms, set fruit all the way to the top of the greenhouse. The fruits are meaty, few seeds. This year I will grow 3 bushes in the greenhouse and one outdoors. First photo is July 3rd.
And this is from July 11th. You can see that even a gnarly megabloom fruit left on the vine didn’t stop the others from filling out and turning red.

One of them sprouted this year. I need to check what year the seeds are from.
