Indeterminate. For me, it was over 2 meters (6.5 ft) tall, and the bush is quite powerful. Very productive, meaty, and sweet tomato. It set trusses without skipping any blossoms. The color of the ripe fruit is a deep crimson (kumach) red. O-lya-lya shared the seeds with me, she got them from GISOK.
It also became one of my absolute favorites. It grew in the corner of the greenhouse and was only pruned (shaped) at the very beginning of the season. And despite that neglect, it pumped out quite large tomatoes. Even though I have original commercial seeds from GISOK, I made sure to save my own seeds from it.
I’ll add some photos
