Urukhskiy Krasavets (Urukh Beauty)
Early ripening variety. The fruit color is red, and the density is good. The fruits are round and reach a weight of 70 to 90 g (2.5 to 3.2 oz). The bush is determinate, up to 50 cm (20 inches) high.
It’s a high-yielding variety, resistant to various tomato diseases. What sets it apart from other tomato varieties is the uniform ripening of the fruits (they ripen all at once). The variety got its name because the plant bush has a spherical shape, visually looking like a small apple tree. The tomatoes do not crack and are excellent for canning.

But the seeds I have with this name are supposed to be an Indeterminate, about 170 cm (5.5 feet) tall. I haven’t planted it myself yet. I googled it, and others also write that it’s an indet. So what type of growth does it actually have?
I came across some information on the internet that there are actually two varieties out there — Urukhskiy Krasavets Red and Urukhskiy Krasavets Pink.

Mine is the pink one (according to the description).
I will try to grow it this year. It didn’t germinate for me last year.
