The original breeder is unknown, but the seeds were preserved and passed down for over 30 years by a family in Pyatigorsk (Caucasus region, Russia). The name &#8220;Granenyi&#8221; translates to &#8220;Faceted&#8221; or &#8220;Ribbed,&#8221; perfectly describing its distinct shape.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate (tall). Despite its height, growers note that the plant has a slender, manageable profile and is not overly bushy or sprawling. Extremely disease-resistant.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Deep red, beautifully ribbed (faceted) beefsteaks. They have thick walls and can get exceptionally large, reaching up to 2.2 lbs (1 kg) under optimal conditions.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Sweet, highly aromatic, and perfectly balanced. The flesh is firm and moderately juicy, making it great for fresh eating and slicing.<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <strong>Maturity:<\/strong> Late season. It requires a long, warm season to reach its massive potential, though topping the plant late in the summer can help ripen the fruits in shorter growing zones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown this variety?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Click here to add your own photos and review below!<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">L<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Lana_s_Kavkaza (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (19,268 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Pyatigorsk, Russia (USDA Zone 6)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>The original source of the variety is unknown. Got it from a neighbor. She&#8217;s been growing it for 30 years. It&#8217;s a late, large-fruited variety, fruits can reach 2.2 lbs (1 kg).<\/p>\n<p>The bush in open ground got up to 5 ft (1.5 m), and in my greenhouse it grew to about 5.5 ft (1.7 m). It isn&#8217;t sprawling, pretty slender. The variety is a heavy yielder, fruits are delicious, sweet, with thick walls.<\/p>\n<p>The first fruits were around 7-10.5 oz (200-300 g), but once the heat broke, they immediately started getting way bigger. Not a sickly plant at all.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/32\/5102-270814145009.jpeg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/32\/thumb_5102-270814145009.jpeg\" alt=\"Granenyi (Faceted) tomato on the vine\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/32\/5102-270814145041.jpeg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/32\/thumb_5102-270814145041.jpeg\" alt=\"Harvested Granenyi ribbed tomatoes\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/84\/5102-170815160455.jpeg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/84\/thumb_5102-170815160455.jpeg\" alt=\"Large ribbed Granenyi tomato cross-section\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\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\">Olga-70-KAZ (Olga) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,485 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Chelyabinsk, Russia (USDA Zone 3)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Really loved this tomato.

This is a crucial agrotechnical tip for northern growers! When you are growing a late-season giant like <strong>Granenyi<\/strong> in a zone with early frosts, topping the indeterminate vines (cutting off the main growing tips) about 30\u201340 days before your first expected frost forces the plant to stop putting energy into new foliage and blossoms. Instead, it redirects all its energy into sizing up and ripening the heavy fruit already hanging on the vine.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Granenyi (Faceted) \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A fantastic old Russian heirloom.
