While the official description says &#8220;slightly ribbed,&#8221; they often produce heavily lobed, almost boat-shaped fruits (sometimes referred to as &#8220;crab claws&#8221;).

The company&#8217;s description reads: <em>&#8220;Mid-season, 1.3-1.5 m (4-5 ft) tall, requires staking and pruning, fruits are oblate and slightly ribbed, great for salads and processing.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In our garden, they weren&#8217;t always just flat\u2014they often took on heavily lobed &#8220;crab claw&#8221; shapes (similar to the <em>Crab<\/em> tomato variety). The height description was spot on, but we actually left one bush totally unpruned and unstaked, and it just sprawled all over the ground. The uprooted plant in the first photo was taken on October 11, 2018. It threw out a few suckers, including two right from the very base of the plant.<\/p>\n<p>The last green tomatoes we picked at the end of the season had about a 50\/50 success rate of ripening indoors off the vine. The flavor is definitely above average with a nice sweet and sour tang (in our opinion, it tastes better than <em>Cuban Black<\/em>, but not quite as good as <em>Japanese Black Truffle<\/em>). The interior is very juicy\u2014there is plenty of seed gel mixed in with the meat, meaning it&#8217;s not a dry\/dense tomato.<\/p>\n<p>We grew 3 bushes in different spots outdoors in open ground. They all performed well, giving us average yields but with a really nice extended harvest window. That giant one sitting on the scale weighed in at 759g (1.67 lbs)!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2018_12\/1445253425_DSC_0737-Kopie(850x1280).jpg.ea0b7fd361526b49b7f58940a4862269.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2018_12\/2025246240_DSC_0737-Kopie(850x1280).thumb.jpg.67988e40bbd616ff274d1db189484a16.jpg\" alt=\"Uprooted Bagration tomato plant at the end of the season\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2018_12\/2003851965_DSC_0637-Kopie(1280x850).jpg.6c997c0ac530db94eeb8812aae9a2418.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2018_12\/787020547_DSC_0637-Kopie(1280x850).thumb.jpg.672a88f59b120b89de62f82223c76131.jpg\" alt=\"Massive 759g Bagration red tomato on a scale\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2018_12\/DSC_0595.JPG.d21be3ab8b9cb13c9d669c5993dd7ef3.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2018_12\/DSC_0595.thumb.JPG.b6bcc28a1b8cac18e40e0c79c78cb16f.JPG\" alt=\"Crab claw lobed shape of the Bagration tomato\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2018_12\/841213177_DSC_0313-Kopie(1280x850).jpg.848c2a3fc6ab24a60f0b92406055ffeb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2018_12\/1959345273_DSC_0313-Kopie(1280x850).thumb.jpg.e6d7fd3f2f3ebe13659b9e0a529c3f82.jpg\" alt=\"Sliced Bagration tomato showing juicy interior and seed gel\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Bagration \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A commercial variety from the Ukrainian seed company &#8220;Nasko&#8221;.
