Very heavy-yielding mater. Taste is normal\/average, but honestly, I&#8217;m just not a big fan of eating red tomatoes fresh. The bush grew to about 5.2 ft (1.6 m) out in the open dirt, regular leaf, red color. I didn&#8217;t try canning or pickling them, they seemed a bit too chunky for my 1.5-quart (1.5 L) jars. In the photos, these are far from the first flush of fruits, they are already running a bit smaller&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/147\/5348-220916002801.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/147\/5348-220916002801.jpeg\" alt=\"Harvested Vedernitsa red tomatoes\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/147\/5348-220916002906.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/147\/5348-220916002906.jpeg\" alt=\"Vedernitsa tomatoes on a scale\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">sel4anka (Nina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,698 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Bashkiria, Russia (USDA Zone 3\/4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Are the varieties Vedernitsa and Vedro s kusta (A Bucket per Bush) the same thing?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">D<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Drosera (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (5,413 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Yekaterinburg, Russia (USDA Zone 3\/4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<blockquote><p><strong>sel4anka wrote:<\/strong><br \/>\nAre the varieties Vedernitsa and Vedro s kusta (A Bucket per Bush) the same thing?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/vedro-s-kusta\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Here is the thread for Vedro s kusta<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Vedernitsa \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A highly productive Russian variety.
