This is exactly what happens when you sow too early. This variety is not Bonsai or Utenok, it&#8217;s not a micro-dwarf or a tree-type, it&#8217;s actually a pretty tall determinate! That&#8217;s why they grew into leggy, spindly plants that couldn&#8217;t produce a normal yield. I&#8217;ve been trying for ages to explain to folks that starting seeds super early means you must transplant them outside early too. Otherwise, the plant stretches out, leaves turn yellow\u2014not even from a lack of nutrients, but because it needs proper space for its roots; it gets severely root-bound&#8230; \ud83d\ude1e But for some reason, my venting just doesn&#8217;t seem to get through to folks here&#8230; and people are still trying to start seeds in January \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">E<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">ellea (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83c\udf31 Member (331 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Yekaterinburg (USDA Zone 3)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<blockquote><p><strong>Ninulia wrote:<\/strong><br \/>\nElena, when did you start the seeds?

I potted it up as it grew\u2014did everything by the book, and transplanted it into a big 3.2-gallon (12 L) bucket by April. The foliage was fine\u2014it didn&#8217;t turn yellow or wither&#8230; but I never saw any edible harvest, unfortunately. It just shot up 4 times taller than what the seed packet claimed. \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the same Bonsai and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/duckling\/\">Utenok<\/a> suffered way longer in small 1-quart (1 L) pots\u2014they never even got up-potted, yet they turned out much better.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it did justify its &#8220;early&#8221; claim\u2014the plant grew very vigorously, and perhaps with a standard planting schedule outdoors, it would have yielded a decent crop. For myself, I concluded that either it&#8217;s completely unsuitable for balcony growing, or it was mislabeled seed (an off-type).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">R<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Rodebielesumer (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,832 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Germany-Luxembourg-France Border (USDA Zone 8)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>The seed company claims on the packet: determinate, 30-50 cm (12-20 inches). Maybe someone actually got bushes that small. We&#8217;ll wait and see. I can only show you my 5-foot (1.5 m) tall one too. I sowed it early along with true compact determinates for an early harvest: Turboreaktivny, Iyonskiy, Zolotnik, Utenok, and the sprawling Mongolian Dwarf.<\/p>\n<p>They didn&#8217;t shoot up like crazy from the early planting; they stayed stocky right up until transplanting outdoors on April 11th. But this one didn&#8217;t care at all about what the seed company claimed. While it was busy stretching out, it took its sweet time setting fruit, whereas we were already harvesting and eating the others.<\/p>\n<p>There are still tomatoes hanging on Bozhya Korovka right now under a row cover. Height is 5 feet (1.5 m). The cherries are firm, just as Aelita promised; they&#8217;re going straight into canning jars.
