Quick Summary of Chudo Tyumeni (Tyumen Miracle)
- 🌍 Origin: A highly productive Russian heirloom from Tyumen, a city in Siberia. The name translates to “Tyumen Miracle.”
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate, vigorous, and huge. Plants easily reach 2 meters (6.5 ft) in a greenhouse and produce a massive “squall” of fruits, often described as looking like a fully decorated Christmas tree.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Red, elongated plum or “thick icicle” shaped fruits. They are quite large for a paste type, with the first fruits frequently reaching up to 300 g (10.5 oz). The flesh is very meaty with very few seeds.
- 👅 Flavor & Texture: Sweet and pleasant. Because of its incredibly heavy yield and dense flesh, it is highly prized as a processing and canning tomato.
- ⏳ Maturity: Mid-season. Notably, it has the remarkable Siberian trait of being able to ripen its massive crop fully on the vine, even in the extremely short and cold summers of Northern Russia (like the Arkhangelsk region).
Seeds are from the forum. I looked for the description on the Internet:
“Chudo Tyumeni amazed exactly with its taste and yield. It fruited inexhaustibly. The fruits are long. The first ones up to 300 grams (10.5 oz). Thick icicles. Very few seeds.”
A huge, vigorous bush with clusters of rather large plum-shaped tomatoes. Quite pleasant taste, with sweetness. Mid-season ripening.
I planted Chudo Tyumeni in a polycarbonate greenhouse, seeds from Verochka-Tomatinka. The bush was 2m (6.5 ft) tall, vigorous, completely covered like a Christmas tree in thick red icicles, just a squall of fruits! All of them went into processing (canning/sauce), but because of the unreal yield, I will repeat it in 2019))). Almost all of it ripened right on the bush, and this is in the Arkhangelsk Region! )
