Its standout feature is its shelf life: it is an excellent &#8220;keeper&#8221; tomato. It counter-ripens indoors exceptionally well without losing its flavor or turning into mush.<\/li>\n<li>\u26a0\ufe0f <strong>Climate Warning:<\/strong> As noted by the grower in this thread (located in a cooler European zone), if your summers are short or wet, this variety might be too slow.

It has a thick, sturdy main stem. The tomatoes have a good, balanced flavor, definitely a solid B (4 out of 5). They are very dense, hold up for a long time when counter-ripening indoors, and they actually keep their flavor well.<\/p>\n<p>For us, this variety just didn&#8217;t work out because it is so late-season. It was the absolute slowest variety to start ripening its tomatoes. It only managed to give us its first flush of fruit before Late Blight hit. We didn&#8217;t get a big yield out of it at all.<\/p>\n<p>Just for comparison, Kemerovets gives us 2 full flushes of fruit by the end of the summer, and last year it even pumped out a third flush by the end of October.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/105\/2212-140116133205.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/105\/2212-140116133205.jpeg\" alt=\"Volgogradskiy 5\/95 late season red tomatoes\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Volgogradskiy 5\/95 \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A legendary old-school Soviet commercial variety.
