Shapes can vary on the same plant from round to oblate (flat-round). Very meaty with multiple small seed locules and surprisingly few seeds.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Excellent, old-fashioned real tomato flavor. It features a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, usually leaning more toward the sweet side.<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <strong>Maturity:<\/strong> Mid-early, though many growers report it behaving like an early-season variety.

I got my seeds from Larisa (Larik). It&#8217;s an absolutely wonderful variety.<\/p>\n<p>Mid-early season, though for me it leaned more towards early. Indeterminate, the plant height was about 6.5 ft (2 m).<\/p>\n<p>Very productive, it set fruit on almost every truss without dropping blossoms. Resistant to diseases and adverse weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The fruits are of different shapes &#8211; round and oblate (flat-round). The skin is dark red, and the flesh is a meaty crimson-red. There are lots of seed locules, but they are small, and there aren&#8217;t many seeds (which are also quite small).<\/p>\n<p>Excellent real tomato flavor, a great balance of sweetness and acidity, with the sweetness being more dominant.<\/p>\n<p>I liked it a lot. Great as a fresh slicer for salads or for making any kind of tomato sauce\/paste. It has a great shelf life, keeping very well even when picked fully ripe.<\/p>\n<p><em>Edited Mar 15, 2019 by Pomidoroved<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/236\/20504-180818090855.jpeg\" alt=\"Bucket of Vedro s Kusta tomatoes harvested\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/227\/20504-100718181351.jpeg\" alt=\"Large red Vedro s Kusta tomato on a scale\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/231\/20504-280718133451.jpeg\" alt=\"Vedro s Kusta tomato plant loaded with fruit\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/228\/20504-170718123441.jpeg\" alt=\"Meaty crimson-red flesh of the tomato sliced\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/231\/20504-270718054321.jpeg\" alt=\"Dense meaty texture with small seed locules\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/228\/20504-170718132940.jpeg\" alt=\"Vedro s kusta tomato slices on a plate\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/231\/20504-280718133659.jpeg\" alt=\"Green tomatoes developing on the vine\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/231\/20504-280718133831.jpeg\" alt=\"Heavy fruit set of Vedro s Kusta variety\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">O<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">OlyaSashina (Olga) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (5,353 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Bor, Nizhny Novgorod Region, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>A good, high-yielding variety.
