I live in Sweden, the climate is roughly similar to St. Petersburg &#8211; humid, not very warm. Our summer is short, sometimes July gets very hot. But by August the nights already start getting cold. Autumn is usually long and drawn out. We don&#8217;t get severe frosts in winter, averaging down to -15\u00b0C (5\u00b0F) and not for long (due to the Gulf Stream). I think your climate in Abakan might actually be better, it is Khakassia after all. If you have the chance, try planting it. I think yours will turn out just as good. I really loved this variety.

Spaced 25-30 cm apart in a greenhouse AND kept to two stems? \ud83d\ude32 Does the variety have a wispy\/frail build? \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No, the bush isn&#8217;t frail, you could even say it&#8217;s powerful. But I prune the leaves heavily, I only leave foliage at the top where tomatoes haven&#8217;t set yet.

Planted 1 bush of BC for the first time. I really liked it. It handled the heat well in the polycarbonate greenhouse (high tunnel). The fruits are large, about half a kilo (1.1 lbs), and beautiful. I remove the megablooms. My husband doesn&#8217;t like &#8220;ugly&#8221; (misshapen) tomatoes. It has a lot of juice, but plenty of meat too. Sweet, and mine ripened perfectly without any yellow shoulders or tough internal white tissue. I will repeat a couple of bushes for juice, and it&#8217;s delicious just to eat fresh too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/194\/13391-280917014733.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/194\/thumb_13391-280917014733.jpeg\" alt=\"Large pink beefsteak tomato on scale\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/194\/13391-280917014918.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/194\/thumb_13391-280917014918.jpeg\" alt=\"Another large pink Bulgarian Miracle\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/194\/13391-280917015117.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/194\/thumb_13391-280917015117.jpeg\" alt=\"Cross section of pink tomato showing meaty interior\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/194\/13391-280917014954.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/194\/thumb_13391-280917014954.jpeg\" alt=\"Meaty pink tomato sliced\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">I<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">irysska <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83c\udf45 Member (291 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>During this very hot summer, the variety pleased me with an excellent harvest.
